February 25, English League Cup final, Wembley Stadium. Stuck in a sad 10th place in the Premier League, the Chelsea Blues and their coach Mauricio Pochettino already have the opportunity to save their season by taking a trophy from Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool, who presents themselves with a largely overhauled team, composed largely young players from the training center. On the other side of the field, the London team fields six players who arrived in the last six months, for a cumulative total of 289 million euros.
The defeat of the Blues on a goal, in the last moments, from Virgil Van Dijk inspires Gary Neville, former Manchester United player and renowned consultant across the Channel, a formula on the air of Sky Sports which will stick to the skin of the men of Mauricio Pochettino: “It’s Klopp’s kids against the billion-pound bottle jobs. » Understand: it was Klopp’s children against a billion-dollar team incapable of winning.
