Chelsea's head coach Mauricio Pochettino commented on his team's 0-1 defeat in the EFL Cup final against Liverpool.
- "Chelsea players must feel this pain. We were fighting for a trophy we wanted to win. What encouraging words can I say? I don't. The players need to feel this pain. They need to realise that we still have to work hard. We have to add to it every day.
In order to compete with a team that has been fighting for all the trophies for the last seven years, you need to first get to the final and understand what it means to fight for a big trophy. Remember that a few years ago, Liverpool lost the Champions League and the Europa League under Klopp, but they continued to believe in their project. After that, they added to it and became better. This is a great example for Chelsea," said Mauricio Pochettino.
