"I was talking with Craig and working with him with different things. You could see he has more confidence now after scoring with his country. We have analysed his movements and things about his game and the team. It was very, very positive," said Benitez.
"He feels as though he has always been under a little bit of pressure here, but I said to him before the game with Birmingham to forget about these things, and to keep going and doing your job, working hard and you will score goals and play well. I have confidence in him."
