Chelsea and Liverpool will face off at Wembley on Sunday afternoon (25/02, 17:00) with the trophy up for grabs League Cup.
At the press conference, Jurgen Klopp said that in the final both teams have the same chances to win the trophy, but Mauricio Pochettino does not share the same opinion.
Specifically, the Argentinian coach emphasized that the reds are the favorites for the final, underlining that the German coach is quite intelligent to say it’s 50-50.
“Klopp is, along with Guardiola, one of the best managers in the world and he is smart enough to know that when you get to and play in a final, there are always circumstances that can happen. Of course, if they’re not the favorites, then we’re not the favorites.
If he said that, it means that Liverpool are indeed the favourites, because after eight years, in recent years, they have gained the necessary experience to play in finals.
For me, our players are not only new to this competition or the Premier League, but for some it is their first final. For this reason, Liverpool are the favourites. But Klopp is smart enough to say it’s 50-50“, were the words of her coach Chelsea.
