“When we played against Liverpool at Anfield, I think too many decisions … not one key decision was for us. Two penalties were not given. VAR helped them to beat us, 50-50s, always for another colour. Always red. I want to be treated in a fair way.”
Mauricio Pochettino has asked referee Chris Kavanagh to be “fair” in Sunday’s Carabao Cup final between Chelsea and Liverpool.
The Chelsea boss was angry about some of the calls that went against his team in their 4-1 loss to Liverpool at Anfield on January 31.
Pochettino’s first chance to win a prize with Chelsea is in this game, while Jurgen Klopp wants to win more trophies before his time with Liverpool ends in May.
This season, Pochettino was asked if Klopp and Liverpool are under more pressure to win a prize. He replied, “Good question.”
“It’s not stress for him, no.” It could be for people who want to party with Liverpool.
After Chelsea wasn’t given a penalty in the Liverpool vs. Chelsea game, manager Mauricio Pochettino yelled at the fourth official.
“I believe we need to decide that we will compete and be fair in every choice.”
“I think too many decisions were made against us when we played Liverpool at Anfield. Not a single key decision was for us.” Two fines were not given. Two-on-twos, 50/50s, always for a different colour. Red all the time. Kindness is what I want from people.
“Of course we’re going to party.” Liverpool is great, and Klopp is one of the best coaches in the world. I’ll be the first to say that.
“But I think that after my last game there, what I want at Wembley is to go there and not feel any pressure.” The best team will win a game where everyone is on the same level. However, not to feel the stress of other people.
