Script:

SOUNDBITE: (Italian) Rafa Benitez, Napoli coach:

"Good afternoon everybody. As you all know, I had a two-year contract which ends after the very important match against Lazio. I thank the president (Aurelio De Laurentiis), the city of Naples and everybody for what they did for me, but my cycle ends and I want to end it positively, winning the next match and leaving Napoli at the level it deserves. I am confident that this is going to happen. This conference is to say goodbye, but I actually want to say goodbye on Sunday with a victory and with the team qualified for the Champions League preliminary round. Thank you."

SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Rafa Benitez, Napoli coach:

(Answering a question about his possible move to Real Madrid)

"I've got quite a big family, I've got part of my family in Liverpool, I've got parts of my family in other cities."

(Q: in which other cities? I don't know you that well?).

"Well, you know where I'm from. Now I've got part of my family in Naples too. This said, what is important is to concentrate and focus and in the near future I will be able to answer your question, if you will call me in order to give you the right answer".
