Reina to get more assists

Last updated : 13 November 2007 By Al Campbell
The Liverpool goalkeeper set up Fernando Torres' goal on Saturday with a quickly taken long pass. Rafa Benitez is expecting more of the same from Reina as he sees that sort of accuracy all the time in training.

"Reina is a goalkeeper with real game intelligence. He can read the game and play the kind of balls he delivered to Torres. He can play these passes to strikers if strikers move for the ball," he explained.

"A modern goalkeeper needs to be able to read the game like this. That is the difference.

"You can save 100 balls, but if you don't do something more you will be a good goalkeeper - not a top class goalkeeper."
