[인터풋볼] Reporter Kim Dae-sik = Manager Jose Mourinho has never missed a trophy in the League Cup final.
Tottenham won the semi-finals of the England Football League (EFL) Cup in the 2020-21 season held at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London at 4:45 am on the 6th, 2-0. This will lead Tottenham to face the winner of the Manchester United versus Manchester City match in the final on April 25th.
The first goal came from Sergio Regilon’s toe. In the 13th minute of the first half, Regilon made an accurate cross from the left, and Musa Sissoko, who raided the penalty box by surprise, scored the opening goal with the correct header. It was Son Heung-min who finished the game. In the 25th minute of the second half, Tangwi Ndombele pushed an accurate pass to Son Heung-min, who penetrated, and Son Heung-min did not miss the opportunity in a one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper. The match ended as it was and Tottenham advanced to the final.
This is Tottenham, who has advanced to the EFL Cup final after six years since the 2014-15 season. Now, the concern of fans is whether Tottenham, where Son Heung-min is active, will be able to lift the trophy. The performance of the main players is also important, but in a single game, the difference in the manager’s capabilities can cause the game to be divided.
Coach Mourinho, who has been strong in the finals enough to have the nickname of’winning matchmaker’, has never missed winning the League Cup final. Excluding this season, coach Mourinho has advanced to the League Cup final four times and won the trophy all four times.
Coach Mourinho, who led the first Chelsea season, beat Liverpool in the Carling Cup final in the 2004-05 season. In the 2006-07 season, he beat Arsenal to the top. In the second season of Chelsea, he won the 2014-15 season, but the opponent at that time was Tottenham, headed by Mauricio Pochettino. Even during the days of Manchester United, which is considered unsuccessful, coach Mourinho took the League Cup trophy.
It is Tottenham who can have enough confidence whoever the final opponent is. Tottenham had a history-worthy victory of a 6-1 victory over Manchester United this season, and he has never lost against Manchester City after becoming manager Mourinho. Fans’ expectations are rising over whether coach Mourinho will be able to present a trophy to Tottenham fans in 13 years with Son Heung-min in the final in April.
