Rafael Benitez has spoken about his special relationship with the Liverpool fans and says he would like to reward them for the support they have given him and the team with a trip to Istanbul for the Champions League Final.
The Liverpool manager says he is also inspired by the Kop anthem 'You'll Never Walk Alone' and he often joins in with the crowd and sings it before a match at Anfield.
Benitez said: "I've only been in Liverpool for a short time but already I have a special feeling for the people.
"'You'll Never Walk Alone' gets to me and it makes me emotional when I walk out and see all the supporters on the Kop with their scarves and banners in the air and everybody singing. It stirs something.
"I have learnt the words because it's important that I understand the message it's sending."
Benitez also speaks of the incredible lengths fans will go to speak to him in Liverpool, even when he is driving home from Melwood.
Benitez said: "I was driving along with my wife Montse when two boys with Liverpool scarves recognised me and started running towards the car. I pulled up and they were dancing about singing 'Ra-Fa Benitez, Ra-Fa Benitez!' They were waving their scarves and it was incredible. I gave them my autograph and as I was driving away they were still in the middle of the street shouting 'Ra-Fa' with all the cars driving past them!
"I remember another time. It was seven o'clock in the evening and I was the last one here at Melwood. As I left there was a guy waiting for me in the cold. He was shivering. He wanted my autograph and said 'thank you'. The gate man told me later that the guy had been waiting for me since 9am!
"Liverpool fans are very special. The atmosphere from the Kop is fantastic. If you run and work hard, whatever happens at the end of the game they say OK. Igor Biscan is maybe the best example of that and they appreciate his effort.
"For a player that must be fantastic. When you have such supporters cheering you on players can reach another level for sure. If we continue to play with passion we can reward those fans."
The Reds boss says the adulation he has received from the Liverpool fans isvery different to what he had when he first took charge of Valencia.
Benitez said: "They thought badly of me when I first came from Tenerife in the Second Division because they were Valencia. I remember we went 13 games without losing, the best run in Valencia's history, but they still complained.
"We lost the 14th game and they said 'Terrible, sack the manager'. At the end of the season we won the league and they said, 'Wow, fantastic, you're the best manager'.
"It took a while for me to be accepted at Valencia but by the end fans chanted my name and wanted to speak to me.
"If I went to a pub or a restaurant with my wife and children it was impossible to eat in peace.
"Luckily, there was one bar near my house where I always had a reservation and the owner would close the doors for me. I even had to go out with disguises, sometimes in dark glasses! Already in Liverpool it can be like that!
Benitez firmly believes, that no matter what happens this season, next season will be an even better one for Liverpool.
Benitez said: "I have a lot of confidence for next season. Why? Because I know the Premiership, I know the English mentality better and I know the language better. I know a lot of things that this year were new to me.
"I've made mistakes but you always make mistakes. The time to judge yourself is at the end of the season."
