Sunday at 5 p.m., "Chelsea" and "Liverpool" will meet in the League Cup final.
This final is important for both clubs - Mauricio Pochettino secured a place in next season's Conference League and could feel more at ease about his work ahead of the new season, while "Liverpool" wants to bid farewell to Jurgen Klopp's last season in a particularly spectacular way.
M. Pochettino spoke about the upcoming final: "We need to be sure that we will fight in every situation and be treated fairly. I think in the matches at Anfield against Liverpool, there were too many interesting decisions... none were in our favor. Two penalties were not given. 50-50 situations, they always favored the others.. 'the Reds'.. I want everything to be fair.
Of course, they were better than us, but the first decision, after five minutes, was a penalty (van Dijk's foul on Gallagher). In the second half, a penalty was given against Nkunku.
Then you see that VAR had its say in similar situations: give a penalty, why not? We are 'Chelsea', we have to fight with the same tools. If they are better, then congratulations to them, but there needs to be equality in every situation.
The pressure is on the referees: they must not succumb to pressure from Klopp, because of his last season," - detailed the Chelsea strategist.
