Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is keen not to make a challenge for the elusive Premier League title the club’s only focus this season.
He insists he is not prioritising trophies, simply going all out to win every one of them.
Benitez watched his side thrash Rangers 4-0 in a friendly at Ibrox on Saturday, maintaining their unbeaten pre-season programme after six games to date. Anmd the Spanish tactician would like to be able to have Barry in his squad ahead of the friendly against Lazio on Friday.
While not willing to say much about the Barry transfer negotiations, Benitez said of this season’s targets:
"Everything is important. Europe is important, the Premier League is important, the FA Cup and the Carling Cup, so we will try to win every trophy and you never know.
"We will try to win from the first game and then see the situation.
"Clearly we have confidence in ourselves and have the quality to try to win every game but you never know what can happen in any competition.
"We started really well and finished really well last season.
"If we can do the same this time then hopefully we will be better in the middle of the season.
"But we will be working really hard to be as competitive as we can."
