Inter coach Rafael Benitez has told Roy Hodgson to focus on managing Liverpool rather than criticising the Spaniard's transfer record as Reds boss.

Last week, Hodgson bemoaned the number of "expensive failures" at the club.

But speaking ahead of Inter's match with Spurs, Benitez said: "He's talking about things that he doesn't know."

And following previous cryptic comments about a bottle of milk, Benitez added: "Some people cannot see a priest on a mountain of sugar."

Inter play Spurs at White Hart Lane on Tuesday in a Champions League Group A match, having beaten Harry Redknapp's side 4-3 at the San Siro a fortnight ago.

Prior to that match, Benitez criticised Liverpool's former owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett as well as former managing director Christian Purslow.

And describing his departure from Anfield last summer, he said: "We have a saying in Spanish: 'White liquid in a bottle has to be milk.'"
