Rafa backs Jose's idea

Mourinho called for Premiership 'B' sides to enter first class football, albeit at the bottom of the ladder. It is an idea that Rafa Benitez agrees with.

"I was the manager of the reserve team at Real Madrid and it's clear that young players need to be playing at a higher here," said the Liverpool manager.

"I think it would work in England and is a good idea.

"It would be a good experience for them [the younger players] and very interesting from my point of view."
