In just over seven and a half years at the Etihad, Pep Guardiola has won everything there is to win with Manchester City. Among the 16 trophies that he brought to the showcases of the English club were four Carabao Cups (sponsored name for the League Cup), but the Spanish coach seemed to have forgotten that his team had the most success in the said competition since his arrival before made a statement at the press conference that caused a stormy reaction from Liverpool fans.##NAJAVA_MECA_7910200##The Liverpool players defeated Chelsea in the League Cup final after extra time, and celebrated the triumph with great passion for several reasons. Firstly, because he is one of the last under the leadership of Jurgen Klopp, secondly, they won it despite huge staffing problems, and thirdly, it seems least important, because it was the jubilee tenth for the club from Anfield in this competition. Because of all the aforementioned, the German called it “one of the most special trophies” he won in his career.Hats off! Haaland scores five and De Bruyne sets up four in City’s steamrolling at LutonHowever, Guardiola stated at the FA-Cup-clash-vs-Luton conference that before the League Cup trophy was considered less important than the others – which is confirmed by the fact that in the past coaches have played mixed teams in the final – and thus, in the opinion of many, tried to diminish the success of the Reds.”I remember when I arrived Brian Kidd was saying to me: ‘Carabao Cup? Don’t pay attention! Play the young players, nobody cares…’ Sir Alex Ferguson always thought: ‘It doesn’t matter’. Phew, I don’t know what happened in the last few years. It was (the match between Liverpool and Chelsea) like the final of another competition. It’s true, nowadays every team plays to win and it’s really difficult to be there,” said the City coach, causing a stormy reaction from Liverpool, but also the fans of City’s other rivals on social media.🗣️ Pep Guardiola on the Carabao Cup: “When I arrived I was told…..
