Rafa gives Rooney a bit of advice

"The difference between players is not always the quality but their mentality," said Benitez.

"Raul was with me when he was 16 years old. I remember Raul working really hard in training sessions and working really hard in the games.

"And he had a lot of control in terms of pressure, like talking to newspapers and the media," added Benitez. "Rooney is no different to Raul in the amount of pressure he faces.

"When you are talking about good players, they are always in the spotlight."
