Dudek plays down Reds row

Liverpool goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek has admitted he was reprimanded over his behaviour during the club's training camp in Portugal.
The Reds found themselves in the headlines for all the wrong reasons last weekend following reports of misbehaviour by several players during their time in Portugal.
Dudek was reported to be one of the players involved in the high jinks which saw Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez issue a statement saying he would be punishing any players who breached club rules.
Polish international Dudek has played down the severity of the trouble, but admitted some players, including himself, had behaved inappropriately by breaking Benitez's midnight curfew.
"Most of the press printed strange, unreal stories concerning our going out for supper to the nearest restaurant, while we were in Portugal," Dudek told his official website.
"Among others, I have read, that I wanted to beat up the policeman, was handcuffed and detained by the police. Nothing of that kind happened.
"I admit that we behaved inappropriately for the situation. We have betrayed our coach's trust, because we returned to the hotel around several dozen minutes after the 'zero hour', as well as other hotel guests, because we disturbed their peace and night time.
"The next day we felt stupid. Our coach talked to us and punished those who deserved it the most. I was one of them.
"We have to draw a conclusion from this incident, so as to avoid such a situation in future."
