During the Argentine coach's first season at the helm of Chelsea, he did not seem to have enough capacity for this job, since the team has not had much continuity in the league. Despite this, the blues were able to sneak into the final, where they will now face a Liverpool team with an incredible level despite the adversity.
This will be a very attractive duel, as Chelsea will seek to win the first title of the Pochettino era, however, they face a Liverpool team, which seeks to say goodbye to Jürgen Klopp in his last season as coach of the Reds in the best possible way. Thus, neither team will have an easy game and the players will have to leave everything on the field to come out with the victory.
For this match Chelsea arrives with a streak in the last five games where they have 2 losses, 1 draw and 2 wins in all competitions. While Liverpool arrives with a record of 4 wins and 1 loss, within the Premier League. This puts the Blues in 10th position in the Premier League standings, while Liverpool remain in first place.
So while there may be some equality between these two teams, due to the injuries in Liverpool, the team led by the Argentine coach seems a bit desperate since French defender Malo Gusto said about Pochettino: "He knows he has to wake up our mentality. Awaken our desire to win everything" this raises some doubts about Pochettino's ability to polish the best level of his players, as Jürgen Klopp has done so far with all his players.
This will be the second final in which Jürgen Klopp and Mauricio Pochettino will meet as Premier League coaches. The German maintains a slight advantage over Pochettino, since he won the 2019 Champions League, when the Argentine led Tottenham. However, despite the fact that Liverpool are the favorites, they cannot go out on the field with overconfidence. So this will be a match that extends this great rivalry.
