Benitez: There's a campaign against Real Madrid, the president and coach

Real Madrid coach Rafa Benitez is convinced of a "campaign" being run against him and the club.

Benitez, despite contrary reports, will be in charge of Real for tonight's game against Real Sociedad.

“What is clear is that there is a campaign against Florentino, against Real Madrid and against the manager," said Benitez.

"Everything that is open to criticism is criticised and that which is not is manipulated. I have spent a lot of time outside of Spain and the trajectory is being questioned. Surveys are carried out continuously and the media's interest in doing them is part of their interest in manipulating things.

"The campaign is clear and I have to take my decisions and the interpretations made by each individual depend on their interest in causing damage. The interests of Real Madrid are different to those of many media outlets. The team does some things very well and others not so well. They have to focus on winning tomorrow. My interest concerns the team doing well and the fans enjoying themselves."
