Dear friends,

It is perhaps that the manager Benitez has omitted the striker from the team. The omission is the result of his grimaces. His grimaces were the result of the substitution. The striker did not want to leave the pitch. The grimaces perhaps did not please Benitez.

It is not wise to pull faces, I think.
