Ex-Reds boss Rafa Benitez is the current bookmaker's favourite to succeed Brendan Rodgers this summer, but Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentis is determined to keep Benitez in Italy, and insists that the Spaniard can bringing success to the Serie A club.
When asked today about Benitez's future, De Laurentis told Radio Kiss Kiss:
"I said to Benitez: 'You can stay another year or five, if you can convince your family. Decide with your wife.
"He said: 'I have to talk with my family, meet me on Saturday'. If he wants to create a New Liverpool in Naples, I'll be happy".
In March, Benitez reportedly rejected a new contract at Napoli, and at the time, FIFA agent Jose Alberti claimed:
"He [Benitez] he will return to England in three months. His mind is already there. He will return to Liverpool and he wants to get back to winning. He is ideal for the Premier League."
It should be noted that Alberti is *not* Benitez's agent. Manuel Garcia Quilon represents the Spaniard, so I don't see how this statement is authoritative. Perhaps Alberti had some inside information, who knows.
However, the fact that Benitez wants to return to Liverpool at some point is beyond dispute.
* Last season, he emphatically told reporters: "I know I will return to Liverpool as coach one day, almost certainly. What I don’t know is when but my wife and children still live there, so I will be back".
* Soon after, Benitez he made it clear yet again (albeit indirectly) that he'd love a return to Liverpool. He told CalcioMercato: “My family is distant, my wife and my two daughters live in Liverpool. It’s the first time that they are not with me and it’s not easy. De Laurentiis knows very well how important the value of the family is.”".
In November, I conducted a poll on the site asking whether Benitez is a good choice to replace Rodgers:
* 16200 visitors (approx) participated in the poll.
* 81% of fans voted YES for a Benitez return.
If Brendan Rodgers gets the red card, Benitez will inevitably be positioned as a major contender for the job. I strongly advocated his departure in 2009, and I maintain it was the right decision to move him on at that time.
However, six years have passed, which is plenty of time for Benitez to reflect on his time at Anfield, and given the Spaniard's nature, I'm sure he has exhaustively analysed where he went wrong, and how he can improve things the second time around.
As such, he'd probably make a better Liverpool manager now, and if he gets the opportunity to manager Liverpool again, there's no doubt that Benitez will grab the chance with both hands.
Benitez is not my preferred choice to replace Rodgers, but if FSG give him the job (unlikely), I'd tentatively support the appointment.
Football opinions should not be inflexible to the point of extreme intransigence; people change, learn, and, most importantly, grow, and with his experiences over the last six years, Benitez remains a realistic candidate for the Liverpool job.

Benitez = FSG = Ice cold water in boiling pot of oil.
ReplyDeleteNot going to happen.
Who is your preferred choice?
ReplyDeleteDespite everything mine is BR for another year at least
bring along Benitez and get in Higuain with him for £20M. then we buy Pedro, Kondogbia and Depay. LFC will truly be back and then the next summer after that, we can have a pop at Champions League with Benitez again
ReplyDeletewill not happen. rogers will given time.
ReplyDeletei cant stand the fact that when we lose he still says we played well. i cant stand his transfer dealings. i cant stand his overpraise. i cant bear to watch it. hes deluded.... we need someone in reality, someone whos honest and experienced. Benitez fits the bill
ReplyDeleteWe will challenge for the title next season only if we make marquee signings.
ReplyDeleteOh the irony!
I won't be mad if BR stays. I really don't think it means anything. What I DO care about is our success. I don't want another clusterfuck of a transfer window, or another poorly played season. It's hurting us every season, which is very detrimental to our place in the EPL, because the top teams will only continue to grow.
ReplyDeleteRafa would come back but ide like to see the fella who has a big smile and yellow cap
ReplyDeleteKondogbia will join Arsenal, Pedro suppose to be going to inter, Depay will end up with Manure, as for Higuain forget about it
ReplyDeleteDitto the above on both fronts.
ReplyDelete"Initially, they (Liverpool) came in for him twice a few years ago and at that point, of course he (Klopp) was very much committed to Dortmund," Honigstein said, talking to TalkSPORT 's Hawksbee and Jacobs.
ReplyDeleteBorussia Dortmund are still the hipster’s choice due to the 47-year-old’s penchant for eccentricity, although the club quite clearly break the first rule of hipsterism; they’re actually cool.
"At the same time, as far as an emotional connection and an ideal fit, Borussia Dortmund to Liverpool is probably the closest resemblance that you can find. "They also sing You'll Never Walk Alone like Dortmund.
The fans are a huge part of the club. There’s a special kind of atmosphere in the city. "It would be very hard for Jurgen Klopp to turn Liverpool down."
Get rid of our current mediocrity! Klopp for the KOP. Yes please!!!
The Megabus guy : ))
ReplyDeleteJust watching Liecester take a first half lead against Chelsea, and I can see what LFC are missing.... A team....... We have quality players, just no team.....We had a team last season, and now Brendan has lost it... Who will be incharge next season? I don't really know anymore, but if we can reinvigorate our team again, we would stand a chance of challenging...
ReplyDeleteNo thanks, I'm a huge believer in you should never go back.... Rafa, as much as I love him, is part of the old guard, we need new blood, new thinking....
ReplyDeleteA young up and coming manager with fresh ideas and a dossier ....
ReplyDeleteOne that praises his team when we lose or draw.
ReplyDeleteDone deal.
there I knew you'd see sense - once you'd had your little tantum;;;;;;; or two!
ReplyDeleteThat buys players then ignores them..... yes please... I want some more of that.
ReplyDeleteEddie Howe?
ReplyDeleteHe has his own soothsayer, so he really does see it happening...
ReplyDeleteSorry, I don't want to start with Character assassinations..... I'll leave that to others.
ReplyDeleteYes then in a couple or three years when we've had the odd set back we can go for another "winning" manager - tat's the Liverpool way, nowadays
ReplyDeleteWhat I don't get is why Rogers is still at the club he had moderate success last season with CL spot but that success was largely based on Kenny Dalglish signings of Suarez and Henderson. He has now had 210 million to spend and really other than coutinho and can who have been a success Alberto Moreno maybe
ReplyDeleteMignolet-not for me
Lovren maybe for 10m but not at the price we paid
Adam L 12-15m but 26m on an injury plagued player really ?
Studge - good player but that's it not great or fantastic and throughout his career he has had injury problems
Allen - worst midfield player we have
Think about
Borini
Aspas
Luis Alberto
Lambert
Balotelli
markovich
Etc etc etc
Would you give him more to spend if you where Henry
Sack him now don't wait bring in Rafa (my first choice) or Klopp, Koeman anyone as a Brendon has lost the plot
Forwards at RWB, CM at CB. Gerrard as a DM.
ReplyDeleteSo who is Rodgers going to rely on when Gerrard is gone?
If I didn't know better I'd say he was not playing them in their preferred or best positions
ReplyDeleteIt's like he's trying to fit something into a different shaped space
One size fits all, cough cough.
ReplyDeleteI should have said before anyone else posts about the transfer committee and it being Ian Ayres fault. This just isn't true Ian works tirelessly for the club and the committee buy the players Rogers asks for and Rogers has the final say on transfer fee and wages...........FACT
ReplyDeleteI understand what you are trying to say, but there must be a better way of putting it?
ReplyDeleteHow many trophies have Chelsea won compared to how many manager they have had over the years?
ReplyDeleteAnd you belive we will win anything under Rodgers after three seasons of transition? Oh wait, his second was an over achievement. Hence him deserving another season?
You'd have thought that some idiot would have come up with an appropriate idiom by now
ReplyDeleteIf at first you don't succeed, hit the pegs a bit harder?
ReplyDeleteAaliyah, that you?
ReplyDeleteMoney helped a lot there
ReplyDeleteYou are going to have more than one tantrum when Rodgers is shown the door.
ReplyDeleteFSG will be at fault.
We spent more than Chelsea this season.
ReplyDeleteSouthampton spent half of what we did and are 1 point behind us. Your point?
Million dollar question... Probably purchase his own kid to slot into the team... Where's he at? Oldham or somewhere similar.... Infact, I might just pop down the Boolies right now....
ReplyDeleteLAST SEASON WE HAD 13 STARTERS, TWO OF THE BEST LEFT, PLEASE , AND I MEAN PLEASE, TAKE THAT TO EQUATION.
ReplyDeleteAt fault for what exactly.?
ReplyDeleteHow may of Southamptons starters left them? 3 aqnd they are at LFC!!!
ReplyDeleteMoot comment I am afraid.
My point is the money they spent pre FFP set them up and they have reaped the rewards of that expenditure even into this season.
ReplyDeleteNot giving Rodgers another season.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't understand how Tadic had easier time impressing there than Lallana and Markovic here...
ReplyDeleteThat would depend on what followed.....
ReplyDeleteOf course. Markovic + Lallana = £45m
ReplyDeleteTadic = £11m.
Who is to blame for the £45m that has failed us this season?
If Ian Ayre is part of the transfer committee then he has to share some culpability, can you back up your facts?
ReplyDeletePlus they had over 100m in player sales to help fund buys.
ReplyDeleteLuiz and Mata sold for nearly 90m combined.
Completely off my topic..
ReplyDeletePerhaps a triangle peg in a hexagonal hole?
ReplyDeleteI'm not entirely sure and having consulted Google and Wiki, I'm... not entirely sure... crashed and burned? Harsh but fair (to me) not her, obviously. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI just knew the song, had to google the lyrics to see her name..
ReplyDeleteEven Pulis at this point is a better option. Give him £117m and let's see what he can do.
ReplyDeleteHow?
ReplyDeleteYou've been eating too many smarties haven't you?
ReplyDeleteBuild a Bus station?
ReplyDeleteWhy player x succeeds at S'oton, and player y fails at Liverpool.
ReplyDeleteIs Markovic worth £20m? Lallana worth £25m?
ReplyDeleteThey did not ask to be signed at those fees.
Who should shoulder the blame for them being at Anfield at inflated prices?
Go on give me a clue
ReplyDeleteWhy player x succeeds at S'oton, and player y fails at Liverpool
ReplyDelete3
It's good. but
ReplyDeleteI would say the measure of success is totally different in top of everything between Liv and S'oton
ReplyDeleteSo if we signed Tadic at £11m would he have done any worse than Lallana or Markovic combined?
ReplyDeleteJust the start of it, yeah.. And Loges knows all of it..
ReplyDeleteWHAT IS THE POINT?!
ReplyDeleteYes, he would've spent most of the time in reserves, by merit. Watched him this season- disapeared for months. Watched hi before, he is nowhere near the level we need.
ReplyDeleteSpent time in the reserves?
ReplyDeletePlayed at RWB under Rodgers that is.
Got it!! I went down a totally different avenue, didn't know the song or writer, wiki = she died in a plane crash with 9 others, RIP. Thought my attempted humour had gone a similar way you meant. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou should know every player we sign is NOT complete failure and every player we don't sign is NOT a flawless player.
ReplyDeleteWould be great if you had access to Koeman to ask him who would he rather have, Lallana or Tadic. Who would you choose?
ReplyDeleteSo spending £45m on two players whereas Southampton have spent £15m more than that and only 1 point behind us.
ReplyDeleteLallana + Lovren + Lambert = £50m.
Can you make sense of this?
Pulis knows how to play one way. Lets not get over heated yeah.
ReplyDeleteOuch..Let's delete our posts and walk away..
ReplyDeleteDoes he care when he has taken his team to only 1 point behind LFC in his debut season spending half of what LFC have?
ReplyDeleteSend him a postcard.
Lallana or Tadic. Who would you choose?
ReplyDelete2
try this:
ReplyDeleteSuarez + Torres = £50m
Did Saints also sign those players?
Conclusion? we can't always sign the bargain of century, asking why? because there are certain barriers in any transfer involved.
It's like using a normal scre driver when you need a phillips head. Something like that?
ReplyDeleteOutstanding post..
ReplyDeleteBlow that, I wouldn't of minded if you did mean that, skins pretty thick. Can't delete mine as a guest anyway, don't think anyone would take offence, obvious we weren't speaking ill of the dead.
ReplyDeleteKlopp would be a great choice but I really don't think it will happen. Hopefully the next manager will have a much better command of English than Rodgers and know what outstanding means.
ReplyDeleteFor £11m Tadic and then I would take the money spent on Markovic minus the difference on Lallana = £34m and buy a powerhouse striker.
ReplyDeleteSaints do not have to sign those players when they are 1 point behind the mighty LFC under Rodgers.
ReplyDeleteYou need Tadic/Lallana type of player as a manager/owner of Liverpool. Disregard the price, who do you buy?
ReplyDeleteUnderstatement.
ReplyDeleteJoking.. Why 'case rested'?
ReplyDeleteNobiody was willing to pay £25m for Lallana.
ReplyDeleteHe has been average for us and injured too. Tadic at £11m would have been a much useful signing even than Markovic.
Point is that Tadic would have been deployed at RWB if he signed.
Can you see the amount of money that has been wasted this season?
Are you questioning saint's ambitions?
ReplyDeleteMaybe they don't ''have to'' but they surely like that happening. These days, being only 1 point behind LFC is not such a prestigious honor by the way.
Steady
ReplyDeleteLFC on 58 point after spending £117m.
ReplyDeleteSouthampton on 57 points after spending £67m.
Read it and weep.
Nope. They have spent more this season. They bought Cuadrado remember? No. Because he is not getting a game. They have spent one hundred million more in the time that Rodgers has been at the club and have a wage bill around one hundred million more a year.
ReplyDeleteAre you Rodgers in disguise?;)
ReplyDeleteIs injuries one reason? As well as added pressure.
ReplyDeletePlease in only one word, as I don't know did you actually answer me, Lallana or Tadic, irrespective of the price?
ReplyDeleteIt was a popular phrase being used on here the other day that whipped up a frenzied debate and as I started using it, I felt it was perhaps a bit unfair to keep changing all the time so people didn't know who they were speaking to and thus decided to hang onto it for a while.
ReplyDeleteIt's not meant to be arrogant, as in I think I've won every point with every post I make and I will probably scrap it altogether soon.
It has been answered.
ReplyDeleteI recently posted with my real name, first and last, and I said where I work- hardly disguising..
ReplyDeleteThey have spent more money than us mate. They have spent 118 million this year.
ReplyDeleteIf it is Tadic you would've brought, I have to say- clueless.
ReplyDeleteWhat is with the derogatory tune in your post?
ReplyDeleteI'm not the one celebrating over LFC's misery. Whilst I agree our transfer has been abysmal at best, but this is not simple math, Logan.
£117m spent on what?
ReplyDeleteSo you going to edit your eronious post?
ReplyDeleteBrendan Rodgers, Anfield
ReplyDeletePlayers. Man you really need to pay more attention.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteit's not right?
ReplyDeleteOn what? ON WHAT?!?
ReplyDeleteSo lame and trite. Go over to TIA where that lack of originality is lapped up.
ReplyDeleteOf course, players who are being played out of position.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. But playing them out of position got us a really good run. You know who else used to play players 2 out of position" a lttle known team called Ajax. All these players are young enough to be flexible. Jesus Can had played all the positions he is playing now before he arrived.
ReplyDeleteThose are facts. Nothing derogatory about it all.
ReplyDeleteTalking of facts I notice you haven't mentioned mne?
ReplyDeleteOops!
ReplyDelete£117m has managed to get us 1 point ahead of Southampton this season and they have spent half of what we have.
ReplyDeleteSorry, but you can say what you want, it is unacceptable.
We looked to have a team at times this year but your right. Sterling's contract actually causing more harm than we thought? Balo being on a completely different wavelength than others? Players being played out of position (yes Logan)? It's hard to say why isn't it?
ReplyDeleteIt's certainly not ideal but that is not what I was reffering to.
ReplyDeleteIf Rodgers did not open his mouth about Sterling's contract then it would not have been blown out of proportion!
ReplyDeleteI'm off
ReplyDeleteMate it was all over the papers anyway. I know in your head it is all his fault but that one I am not having.
ReplyDeleteMne as in Montenegro?
ReplyDeleteSoory but this is not a FACT at all. There is plenty of contridicting statements that suggest this is far from true. Ayre is a part of the committee and one of the money men doing the deals. We have let many players fall through our fingers. This, if not his fault someone doing the job we assume Ayre does.
ReplyDeleteWhat does Ajax got to do with LFC?
ReplyDeleteLet's not muddy the waters.
Slippery slope there it would be like the forth road bridge....
ReplyDeleteMy facts but I suppose I don't own them. Is it Montenegro you are from?
ReplyDeleteYep, that is why I asked..
ReplyDeleteGood thing you're not Sheikh Mansour.
ReplyDeleteIt was not. After Rodgers mentioned 'incredible deal' the media had an orgasm.
ReplyDeleteSeriously? Your saying that?
ReplyDeleteAjax was just an example of a training method of getting players able to play in various positions to create a more fluid system of play. Fluid like parts of last year perhaps. Not only does it helo the player learn their position but if they learrn to play fullback and are a winger then they understand more about what a full back expects ad wants the opposition to do and therefroe know to do the opposite. So that is what it has to do with Liverpool. It is a method that Rodgers is a fan of.
OMG. We are talking start of the season. Even if you put in the Cuadrado money it is much of a muchness.
ReplyDeleteSo Sturrdige didn't score loads of goals too? So we didn't pick up any points before Suarez was back from his ban? So Coutinho had nothing to do with it?
ReplyDeleteAlso Kenny has admitted he had littel to do with the signing of Suarez.
Provide a list of the players being played out of position. Come on, you have said it now own up.
ReplyDeleteYes.
ReplyDeleteWhy are we talking start of the season? So the season stops before Jan? Well it was £27m. That is more expensive than our most expensive player this year but is it theirs? Nope just number 3 spot. Much of a muchness indeed. Perhaps for them yes but shows that they have spent more, are capable of spending more on top of a team that was already far far more expensive than ours. £100m more in three years on top of an already placed CL team. They had soent another £180m in the two season before. You mentioned Chelsea and were dead wrong. But don't worry you have yor Soto fact that you can keep throwing around.
ReplyDeleteThe only player IMO which really stepped up this year was Cout, we need more players really stepping up their games, I'm talking to you Mercenary!
ReplyDeleteAre you a LFC supporter or a Brendon loyalist?
ReplyDeleteDon't be silly
ReplyDeleteyou're beyond any logic !
ReplyDeleteI want to give Rodgers another years of transition.
ReplyDeleteOr we could start a new manager on a new transition
ReplyDeleteA thoroughly enjoyable country on the shores of West African Ocean. Wow so much lively memories!
ReplyDeleteA new manager who does not call every performance outstanding.
ReplyDeleteSaid what? That players are being played out of position? Yeah. It is common knowledge. How about I just mention those who haven't taken to it that well? Markovic seemed to have a few good games at wingback and defended admirably at times but from what I gather he would be much happier in an attacking midfield role. Can looks much worse ta full back than CB. Caught out of position a bit too much. Perhaps we should play him LB like he played at Leverkusen. Johnson has played both sides under different managers but is currently gak everywhere. Both Sterling and Hednerson are wasted at full and wing back but both have done decent jobs their. Sterling has looked best as a striker despite his lack of porfilficacy. He wasn't a ten either but did a great job their last season.
ReplyDeleteWhy was that important to you?
mate you are welcome to support Brendon when he'll manage a club in a lesser league.
ReplyDeleteThere is no point in discussing him here. He is a gone case now.
Nah
ReplyDeleteJust listening to Nigel Pearson right now. Humble, no BS and no excuses.
ReplyDeleteMignolet?
ReplyDeleteNothing has happened yet future man.
ReplyDeleteit's a writing on the wall
ReplyDeleteIs that who you want to replace Rodgers then?
ReplyDeleteKind of like you owning up to providing that "Chelsea gets a piece of the Markovic" sale link after you accused @Stan Dinaround of not doing any research before he posts?
ReplyDeleteHe has been great recently. Maybe all our players need dropping for Brad Jones? Perhaps that is why Johnson is playing. Watch Moreno come back and be excellent.
ReplyDeleteDid I say that? Yet we have Rodgers making excuses game after game.
ReplyDeleteGo read my post again or go listen to what Nigel Pearson has just spoken about.
Jay, the Reaper has spoken!
ReplyDeleteNay!
ReplyDeleteBBC?
ReplyDeleteis it a joke?
ReplyDeletedo you actually know how much cash Rodgers had at his disposal?
He's shown a willingness to choke out the opponent!
ReplyDeleteand probably no premiership soon
ReplyDeleteYes, and Liverpool's wages are STILL less than Chelsea's.
ReplyDeleteYaychs!
ReplyDeleteMate, go google, I quite honestly cannot help you.
ReplyDeleteLess than Chelsea. All this has been done mate.
ReplyDeleteBy around 100 million a year and we have spent 100 million less in the time Rodgers has been at the club.
ReplyDeleteSee and I didn't move my lips
ReplyDeleteAre you in love with the guy?
ReplyDeletewelcome welcome...
ReplyDeleteany hope we can get a better manager?:D
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
ReplyDeleteHaven't had a beer yet...
ReplyDeleteThe Pearson inteview. You could help by answering if it was on the bbc
ReplyDeleteI do like that passion.
ReplyDeletebeer suits me. get one for me too
ReplyDeleteSo I answered your question. Why was that important?
ReplyDeleteRodgers success formula for next season -"Get me marquee signings".
ReplyDeleteWith no CL and pounds at his disposal, how would he accomplish this is beyond me !
Well United threw sh!t laods of money at it. I doubt we will do that though. I am not sure sixty odd grand bench warmers are in our future.
ReplyDeleteSadly a dozen of bench warmer whom nobody in Europe is interested in hiring
ReplyDeleteWho United? I am sure loads of teams are interested. Just like they would be in ours. But you know that, your not silly.
ReplyDeleteLeicester stifled Chelsea throughout the game. Sadly, they lost in the last quarter. They deserved a point.
ReplyDeletethat doesn't matter...
ReplyDeleteIMO - there will hardly be any star* signing if BR stays for another season. I seriously doubt if FSG are benevolent, unless BR gets rid of bench warmers like Markovic , Lallana et al to finance big signings.
ReplyDeleteMarkovic+Lallana+Lovren would hardly muster 30 million.
The world wide web. Easy.
ReplyDeletereally been here?
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure BR was asked because the rumor was already out... Could be wrong though.
ReplyDeleteObviously you can't. Which players are being played out of position at Ajax.
ReplyDeleteYou have made the reference now provide the answers.
You must realize though that we struggled to score before Suarez returned from the ban. 5 goals in 5 games. 3 wins, a draw and a defeat (Ironically to Saints)
ReplyDeleteEverything is Rodgers' fault, dontchaknow?
ReplyDeleteBut the same style with many chances if I recall correctly? We only used to be more cautious after scoring, like vs Villa, ironically when we defended the 0-1 very well.
ReplyDeleteDon't know if Jamie will allow this link you may identify with it if he does:
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KHMO14KuJk
At least Migs did..
ReplyDeleteIf my linked clip makes it past moderation and is now nestling neatly above this post: it is relating to an earlier 'round of comments' not aimed at yourself Razen.
ReplyDeleteIf it doesn't make the cut then this comment makes no sense at all.
Like trying to push a cubic mass into a spherical space?
ReplyDeleteCalling me 'Razen', I really can'y imagine how that will make sense..
ReplyDeleteNot the current Ajax team you donut.
ReplyDeleteYour not wrong.
ReplyDeleteIf you were to go on the tube and stick in 'Jeremy Paxman vs Michael Howard' and watch the second clip in the results, uploaded by user 'Sumixweb' that has 152,448 views, it may make some sense.
ReplyDeleteI should of posted it on a different part of this page, hence why I added the bit about it not being directed at yourself and Razen, rather yourself and another poster. ;-)
This cracked me up. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThats not really ironic but I do remmeber Sturrdige scoring in consequative games. Winning goals. You seem to have a better memory for the details than myself. But we were playing (as Orme says) in that style and winning enough games and the standout performers were signed by Rodgers,
ReplyDeleteMe too!! I really was laughing a lot reading Orme's numbered back and fourths with Logan earlier and it made me think of this.
ReplyDeleteIs it bad that I’m more
ReplyDeleteexcited for this than the Manny vs Mayweather fight? …#loganvsjay? I can see
the headlines now! :)
Ha, familiar with that but of engineering mastery are you?
ReplyDeleteI honestly don't know what to make of you. Don't know if your a wind up a=or really that.....earm.....unobservant.
ReplyDeleteOuch - that's cold!
ReplyDeleteNo she is
ReplyDeleteI am so so sorry
*wipes tear*
ReplyDeleteI'm going to drown my sorrows in a Jet Li movie.
