Ajax Amsterdam attacker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ryan-Babel-c31971, has pointed fingers on the former Liverpool manager, Rafael Benitez, stressing that his failure to excel during his three-and-a-half year stay at Anfield was mainly due to the Spanish trainer.
The 25-year-old joined the 18-time English champions in the summer of 2007 after making over 50 league appearances for De Joden. However, the Dutchman failed to live up to the expectations, and was eventually sold to Bundesliga outfit, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/TSG-1899-Hoffenheim-c40767
halfway through the 2010/11 season.
Although, the Dutchman played close to 100 league games while wearing the Reds colours, he insisted that the then Liverpool boss never really used him properly.
“Rafa Benitez promised me a certain development, but very quickly he took away that promise and it was a totally different situation. I don’t think I ever really played more than three games in a row”, Babel was quoted as saying to the Mirror.
The Dutch forward, who has thus far represented the Oranje in 42 games, went on to admit that he learnt a lot during his time with the Merseyside club, while revealing that his love for the Reds is still the same.

The versatile attacker, who returned to Amsterdam Arena earlier this summer on a free transfer after his contract was terminated by the Bundesliga outfit, also took time to praise the English top flight, and insisted that Barclays English Premier League
is the best league in the World.
“England is the biggest league in the world. Of course, you have http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 is in my opinion the best in the world”, Babel concluded.
The 25-year-old penned down a season-long deal at Amsterdam Arena earlier this summer.
