Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez reckons that Alex Ferguson is 'nervous' because the contention for the Premier League title has turned fiery. The Reds are closely trailing leaders Manchester United by a sole point, and their title hopes were hugely boosted after they battered Ferguson's side 4-1 at Old Trafford. "Ferguson is always talking about us which shows they are really under pressure," said Benitez. "I don't care, but I know he's nervous, so it's good. You can see he's under pressure." Apart from their on-field rivalry, both tacticians have been teasing each other with sensational statements throughout the season. "Mind games are against managers who are affected by them," the Spanish boss added. "I am focused just on my team before every single game. I don't see that what's said about my team will affect my team. I don't think so. "Maybe once in every 10 times, but not every time. Anyway, I don't care. It doesn't matter. "I prefer to talk about football, but sometimes you have to hit back."
