Mourinho, Benitez feud on

AFP, London
Jose Mourinho insisted football's authorities treated him differently to everybody else after defending his part in the furore that followed Chelsea star Michael Essien's sickening tackle on Dietmar Hamann during the goalless Champions League draw with reigning champions Liverpool.
Rafael Benitez reacted furiously to Essien's lunge and, as he protested on the touchline, Chelsea boss Mourinho clearly gestured at the Liverpool manager.
"I was telling him he was crying all the game," said an unrepentant Mourinho, who claimed not to have seen the incident that sparked the controversy at Chelsea's Stamford Bridge ground here Tuesday.
"I was telling him: 'It's enough. Sit down.' Referees are always very direct and strong to put me in my place, but other managers can do what they want."
The Portuguese drew a direct comparison between himself and Manchester City manager Stuart Pearce who, in a recent Premiership game, ran onto the pitch and placed the ball for a free-kick which Blackburn were delaying taking.
"You can imagine if I do what Pearce did," he said. "For Jose Mourinho it is a three-month ban."
Not for the first time, Mourinho seemed to be deliberately drawing
attention to himself to deflect attention from an on-field matter of some seriousness. So bad was the tackle that Hamann called it the worst he had experienced.
The challenge clearly upset Benitez at the time, but he was a model of calm when he spoke to reporters.
"I could see the tackle," said the Spaniard after seeing his team pip Chelsea in the race to finish top of Group G after both clubs had already qualified for the second phase before kick-off.
"It was just in front of the bench. I've also seen Dietmar Hamann's leg. It's clear. If you can see the video you will have your opinion. You cannot change things, so I don't want to talk about them
He did, though, suggest that European soccer governing body UEFA should examine the incident.
"I have an idea that in this kind of situation they should look at the video. Not for changing the game, but if the referee has made a mistake."
About Mourinho's comments he was similarly unforthcoming."I think he talks a lot," Benitez said.
Mourinho generally was complimentary about Liverpool's defensive resolve in a game of few chances.
"It shows the way teams play," he said. "They defend very well. They defend with everybody behind the ball. They press very well, they pressure the spaces. "They don't give you many chances to create, so when you have two chances in the
game and dont score one, the game is the same from the first to the last minute," added Mourinho, whose reigning English champions and current table-toppers are presently 12 points ahead of Liverpool in the Premiership.
"To be fair I don't think there are many teams in the Champions League who could come to Stamford Bridge and defend like that," said the Blues chief who last season saw Liverpool hold Chelsea to a goalless stalemate before winning the second leg of their European semi-final 1-0.
The clean sheet was Liverpool's ninth in succession and a proud Benitez said: "When you play Chelsea you have to control the midfield and the second ball because they play a lot of long balls," he said.
"You sometimes need to keep the ball and Peter Crouch and Fernando Morientes can do that. The team is working really hard in defence. We try to go forwards also, but against Chelsea it is not easy."
Topping the group means Liverpool should, in theory at least, have an easier draw when the knockout stage begins in February but Mourinho did his best to play down Chelsea's second place position.
"I wouldn't say I am happy to finish second, but it is the same to finish second or first. I'm not happy because we didnt win the game but it's an open draw.
