Chelsea will look to book a place in the finals of the Club World Cup against Corinthians when they take on Monterrey in the semis.
The Blues are the champions of Europe and firm favorites for the title, and therefore will be mindful of a slip up against the Mexican side.
"I intend to win, so I will try to use the best team possible to win the first game," Benitez said. "After that we will think about the next game.
"My experience is that you can't leave things for the final because you must win the semi-final. The main thing is to play a good game with high tempo, good passing and creating chances."
Monterrey earned themselves a glamour tie against Chelsea by defeating Ulsan Hyundai 3-1 in the quarterfinals, and Benitez is aware of the Mexican side's quality.
"We know the team, we have staff collecting videos and watching them, I've watched them as well so we have a lot of information," Benitez added.
"They're a good team who can play the passing game and move the ball easily, but at the same time they can play more direct.
"It will be an interesting test for us, we need to manage the tempo of the game and see if they can match us physically. They can change tactics as well during the game, change shape and play different formations, so the coach is doing a good job."
The interim Chelsea manager said he has still not decided on the starting XI, but Frank Lampard is expected to get a start after recovering from an injury.
"We have some talented players in the middle, we try and balance the team and put some creativity in there but at the same time we need to defend," Benitez said.
"My experience of this competition is to see how the players are the day before the game in training. After this, you must consider that some players will be fresher than others. After watching Monterrey and analysing my players we will decide."
