Former Liverpool player, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c39043, and that they need to build a strong momentum before the final.
The Reds will take on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786, on the 5th of May at Wembley, in a bid to lift the FA Cup trophy. By doing so, they will also complete an English domestic cup double this season, having already claimed the league cup title in February.
However, before the game against the Blues, Kenny Dalglish’s side are scheduled to play three league games.
The former Czech footballer believes that the Reds need to build a winning-momentum ahead of their match with the Blues, by winning all three league games. However, he played down the suggestion that they are still in a state of euphoria, after beating Everton
in the momentous semi-final.
“Every game is important at Liverpool. A final is a final and a massive game, but http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 can use the league matches as the ideal preparation for the Cup final.” Smicer wrote on the club’s website.
The 38-year old, who played for the Reds from 1999 to 2005, has featured in 2 Cup finals in 2001 and 2005. He was a part of the team's Champions League winning squad in 2005. He scored his side’s second goal in the final against AC Milan to push the game
into a penalty shoot-put. He converted from the decisive penalty kick, to help the Reds secure their fifth European title.
In total, he made 121 appearances for the Reds and scored 10 goals.
The former midfielder claimed that any fixture against Everton has always been a massive one for Liverpool, and called upon the Reds to go all-out in their remaining games this season.
"Beating Everton was a massive boost. We know every game against Everton is important for the fans and for the confidence of the team.”
Liverpool will play West Bromwich Albion on Sunday at Anfield, and will look to win their second league game on the bounce. The Reds beat Blackburn http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rovers-c40385 3-2 at Ewood Park, in their last league outing. They will visit the Carrow Road on the 28th
of April, and will play host to Fulham three days later.
Smicer is currently in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brunei-c2860, where he will represent the Liverpool’s legend team in two Masters Tournaments.
"I'm very happy to be here again," said Smicer.
"It's nice to see all the players again and remember old times and I'm sure this year will be the same again. It's always a privilege to wear the Liverpool shirt.”
