Former Red Dossena Relishing Anfield Return

Former Liverpool defender
Andrea Dossena insists Anfield
will see what he had to offer the
club when the Reds take on
Napoli in two months' time.
With the primary exception of
finely taken goals against
Manchester United and Real
Madrid Dossena has little reason
for fond memories of his time on
Merseyside.
The sides will meet in back-to-
back fixtures during November
after being paired in the same
Europa League group.
A switch to Napoli in the January
transfer window ended 18-
months as a Liverpool player.
Speaking to an Italian Radio
station the left-back was
adamant about the quality of
display he expected to put in and
the mouthwatering nature of the
clashes to come.
"I cannot wait to go back and
play at Anfield Road," he said.
"The first thing that popped into
my head when I heard the news
was that I’m returning to Anfield.
The second was that I can finally
show the Liverpool fans who
Dossena really is.
"I feel the pressure of this
appointment and it means a lot
to me to play in that stadium.
"There’s no desire for revenge or
feelings of rancour. I just want to
put in a great performance."
Turning his thoughts to former
Anfield boss Rafael Benitez, who
Dossena will come up against the
Spaniard in domestic
competition when Napoli meet
Inter Milan, put paid to any
suggestion there could be
resentment against the man who
bought and then sold him on.
"I have a good rapport with him
[Benitez]," Dossena insisted.
"He's a person who likes to joke
around, so the moment he sees
me I'm sure he will make me
laugh.
"It will be nice to see him again."
