Liverpool can win the first cup for the ARNE SLOT era in the final of the League Cup against Newcastle team to end the 56 -year -old waiting for the main silver. In the first match of the English local season, Liverpool is heading in the English Premier League for Liverpool to Wembley aimed at erasing the bitter taste of the Champions League against Paris Saint -Germain on Tuesday. Reds were hit 4-1 on translation kicks by Paris Saint-Germain in the last 16 seconds in Anfield.
It was a rare blow to what was a successful first -responsible season for Slot, who arrived from Feyenoord to succeed Jurgen Klopp last year.
The REDS team sits 15 points at the top of the Premier League, moving away from the twentieth and first English title since 2020.
This will be the culmination of the transition of a smooth hole to life with Liverpool.
But first, the Dutchman designed his eyes on another league cup in the cabinet.
Liverpool, who beat Chelsea last season, won the League Cup 10 times and is looking to raise the cup for the third time in four years.
“You play such games to win it, and this is what we will try to do,” said Slot, who will be without the right-back Trint Alexander-Arnold.
“We really look forward to that because you cannot take a final thing from it, especially in this country with a lot of good teams.”
Slot, whose first visit to WEMBLEY will be able to recover quickly to show their triple shows by PSG.
“It is a great occasion to be in it, especially after losing against Paris Saint -Germain. Perhaps the perfect game is,” he said.
“An opportunity to make history”
Regardless of a short period when Kevin Kegan team challenged the title in the 1990s, Newcastle may hold contracts of achievement and self -wounds that made them serve as a laughing stock for long periods.
All of this changed in 2021 when a Saudi -backed consortium completed a acquisition of the unaccounted owner Mike Ashley and soon made the decision to employ Eddie Hao as their manager.
Newcastle has been transferred from the flying candidates to the competitors on the silver pots, with the appearance of the Champions League in 2023-24, which confirms their revival.
However, Newcastle is still awaiting winning the first big cup since the Cities Cup in 1969-the European League ancestor.
The last major local award in Magpies was the 1955 English FA Cup and lost five combined finals in that competition and the League Cup since then.
They never won the League Cup, as they recently lost the 2023 final against Manchester United.
Since the Magpies team raised the exhibition cup among cities, 30 different teams won the English language from silver, while Liverpool won 38 main prizes at the time, including the final success of the FA Cup against Newcastle at the last club meeting in 1974.
With the weight of history against them, Hao urged his players to adopt an opportunity to become Newcastle legends by ending the drought in the cup.
“We want to break this waiting until the cup. It is not negative,” he said.
“We are trying to look at it in the opposite direction, it is an opportunity to make history and remember it positively.”
Liverpool reduced his 2-0 victory in his latest Premier League conflict with Newcastle in February.
The mission of Magpies has become more difficult by the lack of England striker Anthony Gordon and injured defenders Luis Hall, Sven Putman and Jamal Lasigls.
But Hao is sure that Newcastle will not freeze in front of a crowd of sale and a TV audience of millions around the world.
“We remained competitors, mainly, in big games,” he said. “Our style, we have the ability to adapt, but also have a clear way.”
