The manager speaks to me more

Florent Sinama Pongolle on his experience with Liverpool and Benitez:

"Blackburn have at least given me a chance to play games and the manager speaks to me more. (BBC 2006.04.19)

The "speaking" is rarely personal I think and does not reflect poorly on club or manager. It is more a factor of where the player stands in the greater scheme of things. If you are a peripheral player then you are going to feel distanced from the manager--whether it is Benitez or another manager who doesn't rate you ahead of the rest...
