Rafa praises Keane

Last updated : 31 July 2008 By Al Campbell
Keane made his Liverpool debut last night and got a 45 minute run out against Villarreal. His performance impressed his manager who was quick to praise him after the game.

"To see Robbie with the new lads out there was positive. Robbie worked hard and he wanted to impress. He played his part in some good movements in attack and showed his quality," said Benitez.

"I want to see them [Keane and Torres] together before our first game in the Champions League qualifier.

"They will have enough games now to play together before the start of the season and maybe they will have 45 minutes on Saturday.

"Torres will play some games in a row now. He had some chances tonight but he only played for 20 minutes which was the idea in his first game back."
