Chelsea’s manager Mauricio Pochettino has urged match officials to make fair decisions during their upcoming League Cup final against Liverpool on Sunday.
He has also cautioned them against being swayed by emotions over Juergen Klopp’s departure. Pochettino has pointed out that during their Premier League match against Liverpool last month, his team’s penalty appeals were unfairly dismissed.
He feels that his team did not get fair treatment, and he hopes that the referee, Chris Kavanagh, will officiate the challenges at Wembley without any biases.
Pochettino has emphasized the importance of fair play and hopes that every decision will be made fairly during the match.
He has also expressed his concern that the emotions and pressure surrounding Klopp’s farewell season should not affect the match’s outcome.
He hopes that both teams will compete on an equal footing and that the best team will win without any undue pressure or bias.
Chelsea’s manager is determined to win the League Cup this season, having lost the final to Chelsea in 2015 during his time at Tottenham Hotspur.
Meanwhile, Liverpool is looking to secure their record-extending 10th League Cup victory, while Chelsea is hoping to turn their shaky season around by winning the Cup for the sixth time.
Pochettino is optimistic about his team’s chances and believes that they will play at their best to secure a victory that will boost their confidence and morale.
