More praise for Reina

Last updated : 14 April 2006 By Al Campbell
Reina has kept an amazing 29 clean sheets already this season and Rafa Benitez believes the Spaniard is now one of the best goalkeepers in the Premiership.

"For me Pepe is the complete goalkeeper and he has done a very good job for the team," said the Liverpool manager, who will consider the £6m he spent on Reina in the Summer money well spent.
 
"All the team have done a good job as it's really difficult for a goalkeeper to keep clean sheets unless he has a good defence. When I signed Pepe I said he was the best goalkeeper in Spain and I now think he is one of the best keepers in England.
 
"He is so quick off his line and reads the game very well and has made some good saves for us this season. He is also very good in the air and when he came to England I told him that the strikers would be more agggressive than they are in Spain and it would be better sometimes to punch the ball. He gets good distance with his punches and it is very important for us."
