http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 on Saturday, and admitted that the whole staff were jittery ahead of the momentous game.
The 61-year old has not lost a single match against the Blues as a manager in 13 games. This season, the Reds have already beaten the Londoners on two occasions, one in the quarterfinal of the Carling Cup in November, and their other win came in a league
match at Stamford Bridge, in the first half of the season.
However, the Scott who took over the management of the Merseyside club for the second time in January 2011, played down the opinion that his impressive record against the Blues will mean anything ahead of their final game, and pointed out that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Di
Matteo’s side have been in sublime form recently.
While talking to reporters, he said: “It doesn't matter if you have never won or never lost, it makes no difference. It is what happens on the day what counts.”
The Scott also conceded that the atmosphere in the dressing room was really tensed ahead of the game, but was aware that the Blues will be feeling the heat as well.
“I think everyone is nervous. The fans are nervous, the management, staff, owners, directors, everyone, but it is the same for both teams.”
Both the sides will go into the Cup final with a different background. Chelsea, who are also vying for a top four finish in the league, will also play the Champions League final against Bayern Munich on the 19th of May. The Reds on the other hand
will be a eyeing a historic domestic cup-double, having already secured the League Cup in February, but find themselves out of the top four race.
“It's always special when you win a game and somebody puts a bit of silverware in your hand afterwards. But I don't think it's a defining result for either club.” He added.
Meanwhile, Liverpool’s inspirational skipper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Steven-Gerrard-c34196 has set aside the idea that his side will be heavily dependent on him in the Cup final. The English International, who has made a staggering 577 appearances for the Anfield side, has already guided
them to three pieces of silverware during his lengthy career. In 2005, he led his side to Champions League glory and a year later helped them bag the FA Cup title.
He underlined the fact that his side had done remarkably well on a number of occasions, despite him not even getting on the score sheet.
“We’ve certainly got players in and around the squad who can be match-winners. Not all the pressure's on me.”
