DUDEK DECIDES TO LEAVE LIVERPOOL

Category:Other
Liverpool goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek intends to quit Anfield this summer as he is fed up of being treated like "a slave" by Rafa Benitez.

The club's 2005 Champions League hero has played only a handful of games since Jose Reina arrived on Merseyside two summers ago and is out of contract at the end of the season.

The 34-year-old Poland international, a target for Wolfsburg and former club Feyenoord, told The Sun: "I have to finally tell Rafa I'm leaving because maybe he's not aware of it.

"I will remember Liverpool fondly as a success but not the situation I've found myself in.

"When a player knows he is a slave, he'll never give his employer his heart."

Dudek has warned his fellow keepers off signing for Liverpool, saying Benitez will treat them in exactly the same way.

He said: "To get a good keeper, they'd have to spend £3million to £4million and then Rafa would have to tell that keeper: 'You're going to sit on the bench'.

"But no respected keeper would come under those terms and that's why they prefer to keep me."

Editors Note: I think he make a good desicion for himself.being a team second choice keeper is not good.Even though he was part of the 2005 chapions league liverpool squad, he is not considered much by Rafa Benitez.Each an every game he is just on the bench.He didn't given a chance to prove himself.
he is a good keeper indeed, maybe Rafa didn't like him as such.
Rafa use the palyers rotation but why keepers are not doing the same? Only one keeper in all games while there is another one on the bench everytime every day.I thought the player's rotation is used so that players who didn't play in the last game will have a chance to play in the next game.
