Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has refuted claims that the Carabao Cup is not a significant competition. Pochettino emphasized the importance of the tournament, stating that it remains one of the club’s objectives and highlighting the enthusiasm clubs have shown when winning the cup over the past decade.
“It is a really good opportunity to win,” Pochettino remarked, dismissing the notion that the Carabao Cup is a lesser trophy. His comments come amid discussions in the football community where some have referred to the competition as the ‘Mickey Mouse Cup’, suggesting it is not as prestigious as other domestic trophies.
Pochettino, who has been at the helm of Chelsea, made it clear that his team does not share this sentiment and is focused on securing the title as part of their pursuit of silverware.
