EDITORS COMMENTS
Great photo capturing the moment of sportsmanship and respect between two talented managers, Rafael Benitez of Chelsea and Steve Clarke of West Bromwich Albion, before the highly anticipated league match at Stamford Bridge on March 2,2013. The atmosphere was electric as the two teams prepared to face off, with Chelsea aiming to maintain their position at the top of the table and West Brom looking to cause an upset. Despite the intense competition between the two clubs, Benitez and Clarke took a moment to acknowledge each other before the match, showcasing the camaraderie and sportsmanship that exists even in the heat of competition. Benitez, who had taken over as interim manager of Chelsea following the departure of Roberto Di Matteo, was no stranger to the Stamford Bridge turf, having previously managed Liverpool to numerous victories against the Blues. Clarke, on the other hand, was making his return to Stamford Bridge as the manager of West Brom, having spent several years as an assistant coach under Benitez during his time at Liverpool. The pre-match handshake between the two managers served as a reminder that despite the fierce rivalries and competition on the pitch, there is a mutual respect and understanding between professionals in the football industry. The image of Benitez and Clarke shaking hands before kick-off is a powerful symbol of sportsmanship and the unifying power of football. Darren Walsh, the talented photographer behind this image, expertly captured the moment, providing fans with a snapshot of the human side of football that often goes unnoticed amidst the excitement and drama of the game. This photo is a testament to the enduring legacy of football as a unifying force, bringing people together through the power of sport.
