Wrexham 1-2 L'pool: Le Tallec double
Wrexham 1 - 2 LiverpoolA goal in each half from French youngster Anthony Le Tallec gave Rafael Benitez a winning start to his new Anfield regime in Liverpool's first friendly of the pre-season.
The new coach used 21 players in a match watched by 14,978 - raising #160,000 for cash-strapped Wrexham in the process - as he eased himself into the Liverpool hot-seat.
Djibril Cisse made his debut in the first half when Hector Sam put Wrexham ahead, before Le Tallec turned things around.
Cisse went off at half-time and a virtually new Liverpool side took over, with Florent Sinama-Pongolle's pace and trickery the key to what was a low-key friendly win.
The Merseysiders will now fly to the USA to continue their pre-season preparations.
Wrexham are not quite in the same league, having flown back from a tournament on the Isle of Man, where they played last night, and now returning to play again on Friday,
But they gave a good account of themselves in a match watched by 14,979 and raising £160,000 for the cash-strapped Welsh club.
Benitez opted not to bring any of his Euro 2004 stars to the Racecourse, and that meant Owen was not on show despite firm claims that he wanted to play in this first Liverpool friendly of the season.
The Spanish coach clearly wanted to see the fringe men, players he had already said would have something to prove to him. Igor Biscan played in midfield along with young John Welsh, Le Tallec featured up front and French central defender Carl Medjani was also given a run.
Wrexham looked quicker and more assured and pushed forward through Darren Ferguson's promptings. Twice Sami Hyypia had to snuff out decent chances for Welsh international Chris Llewellyn and on 20 minutes the Welsh club took the lead. Ferguson's ball in from the left was headed on by the giant Dennis Lawrence and Sam belted the ball high into the net from close range.
That clearly woke Liverpool up and they were level four minutes later when Biscan's 20-yard shot was touched onto a post by Andy Dibble at full stretch, but the veteran keeper could do nothing to stop Le Tallec tapping home the rebound. Cisse, too, started to show his class with a juggling act and overhead kick followed almost instantly by a curling effort with the outside of his foot that just cleared the far post. He then unleashed a 25-yarder from a tapped free-kick that Dibble held to his right. But there was still hesitancy in Liverpool's defence and Brian Carey almost put Wrexham ahead again when he lunged in at a Ferguson corner undetected, to lift a shot over the bar from 12 yards.
Then Simon Spender sliced wide after tenacious work from Sam left him unmarked in the box. The new Spanish coaching regime was soon evident with the players doing a half-time warm down round the pitch and the rest of the squad being put through their paces by Benitez's staff.
And Benitez made 10 half-time substitutions, only Le Tallec surviving as some of the youngsters were given a chance. By contrast Wrexham just replaced Steve Roberts with Shaun Pejic.
And Liverpool opened with Sinama-Pongolle breaking through only to be thwarted by Dibble's dive at his feet.
The little French ace then went on a high-speed run through the heart of the Wrexham defence before shooting wide. His next involvement was to set up Robbie Foy for a shot Dibble saved.
Sinama-Pongolle should have scored when he clipped a close-range effort over, but his 75th-minute run set up the second for his countryman Le Tallec.
Sinama-Pongolle cut through at high speed and slipped a neat pass to his left for Le Tallec to clip into the far corner.
Ferguson almost levelled with a dipping 20-yard free kick with five minutes left, but the ball just cleared the bar.
Benitez happy with debut
Rafael Benitez claimed to be more than happy with both his first game in charge of Liverpool and the debut of £14million signing Dijbril Cisse tonight.
Liverpool cruised to a 2-1 win at Wrexham with two goals from Anthony Le Tallec.
It was new coach Benitez's first chance to see his players in action and he insisted he was happy but 'that things will improve.'
The Spanish coach said: 'It was just our first match and I was happy, it gave us the chance to show the players what we want to change in their system.
'I was also happy with Cisse's first game. He worked well, but the problem for him was that the players used short passes to him when he would probably like them longer.
'But it was just the first time, they will have to understand how he wants the ball played up to him. It will come. 'I was happy with him, it was just his first 45 minutes and I believe he will score a lot of goals for us.'
Liverpool now jet off for a three-game trip to the USA next week, and Benitez added: 'It was the first game for most of the players, some played good, some not so good, but things always improve.'
Star of the show, though, was young French striker Florent Sinama-Pongolle, who destroyed Wrexham with his lightning pace.
Benitez said: 'I said beforehand that we have four good forwards, and Pongolle played well and showed that he will out pressure on Cisse, [Michael] Owen and [Milan] Baros.

When he was a small boy, he had loved butterflies. Oh, not to net and mount them, but to wonder at their designs and habits.
Now a grown man with his first son to be born in a few weeks, he found himself once again fascinated with a cocoon. He had found it at the side of the park path. Somehow the twig had been knocked from the tree and the cocoon had survived undamaged and still woven to the branch.
As he had seen his mother do, he gently protected it by wrapping it in his handkerchief and carried it home. The cocoon found a temporary home in a wide-top mason jar with holes in the lid. The jar was placed on the mantle for easy viewing and protection from their curious cat who would delight in volleying the sticky silk between her paws.
The man watched. His wife’s interest lasted only a moment, but he studied the silky envelope. Almost imperceptibly at first, the cocoon moved. He watched more closely and soon the cocoon was trembling with activity. Nothing else happened. The cocoon remained tightly glued to the twig and there was no sign of wings.
Finally the shaking became so intense, the man thought the butterfly would die from the struggle. He removed the lid on the jar, took a sharp pen knife from his desk drawer, and carefully made a tiny slit in the side of the cocoon. Almost immediately, one wing appeared and then out stretched the other. The butterfly was free!
It seemed to enjoy its freedom and walked along the edge of the mason jar and along the edge of the mantle. But it didn’t fly. At first the man thought the wings needed time to dry, but time passed and still the butterfly did not take off.
The man was worried and called up his neighbor who taught high school science. He told the neighbor how he had found the cocoon, placed it in the mason jar, and the terrible trembling as the butterfly struggled to get out. When he described how he had carefully made a small slit in the cocoon, the teacher stopped him. “Oh, that is the reason. You see, the struggle is what gives the butterfly the strength to fly.”
And so it is with us. Sometimes it’s the struggles in life that strengthen our faith the most.

This is very funnny leh....read on lah...

A man died and went to heaven. As he stood in front of St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him. He asked, "What are all those clocks?" St. Peter answered, "Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone on Earth has a Lie-Clock. Every time you lie the hands on your clock will move". "Oh," said the man, "whose clock is that? That's Mother Teresa's. The hands have never moved, indicating that she never told a lie." "Incredible, said the man. "And whose clock is that one?" St. Peter responded, "That's Abraham Lincoln's clock. The hands have moved twice, telling us that Abe told only two lies in his entire life." "Where's George Bush's clock?" asked the man. "Bush's clock is in Jesus' office. He's using it as a ceiling fan."
=========================================
One day an evil witch took over the forest, ''One-by-one, all of you useless animals have to come up here and tell a joke... if everybody laughs, you will be spared... or else I'll cut off your head!'' The monkey went up first and told such a funny joke that all the animals laughed except fot a tortoise.. so the witch cut off his head. Next, a giraffe went up and she, in turn told a joke that set all the animals off laughing... but still, the tortoise did not laugh...so the witch cut off her head. Then, the rabbit went up... but before she could say a word, the tortoise started laughing... ''Why are you laughing you stupid tortoise?'' the witch asked. "The monkey's joke was very funny...'' was the reply.
=========================================
One day, Mr. Caterpillar decided to hitch a ride to town. As he was standing by the roadside, a family of bees came by in a little car and offered him a ride Gratefully, he accepted. After putting along merrily for a few kilometers, the engine sputtered and the car rolled to a halt. Without saying a word, Papa Bee alighted and urinated into the fuel intake. When he turned the starter, the engine started up, much to Mr Caterpillar's amazement! However, he did not say a word. The car went on for quite some distance before the engine died again. This time, it was Mother Bee who urinated into the fuel intake, and again, the car started up after that. The process was then repeated again for Baby Bee. By the time the engine died for the fourth time, the little car was only a few kilometers from town. Not wanting to appear unsophisticated, Mr Caterpillar got out of the car without a word, and started opening the fuel cap. In a flash, Papa Bee got out of the car. "What are you doing?" asked Papa Bee. "I'm going to piss in the fuel intake, just like you did", said Mr Caterpillar. "Oh, no", said Papa Bee patiently, "that won't do. This car only runs on Bee Pee (BP)."
=========================================
An old man was sitting on a bench at the mall. A young punk walked up to the bench and sat down. He had spiked hair in all different colors: green, red, orange, blue and yellow. The old man just stared. Every time the punk looked, the old man was staring at him. The punk finally said sarcastically, "What's the matter, old timer? Never done anything wild in your life?" Without batting an eye, the old man replied, "Got drunk once and had sex with a peacock. I was just wondering if you were my son."
