Sarri was furious.
The 2018-2019 League Cup final ended this morning at Wembley Stadium, the two sides exchanged white rolls within 120 minutes, and Manchester City won the title with a 4-3 victory over Chelsea in a penalty shootout, which was the sixth time in the history of the Blue Moon to dominate the League Cup.
Compared to the "infighting" staged by Chelsea in the last moments of extra time, Manchester City's victory is no longer the most eye-catching news of the whole game.
As the game was about to enter a penalty shootout, Chelsea goalkeeper Kopa had problems with his thigh muscles after a save, Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri had planned to replace him, and Caballero had finished warming up, put on gloves and stood on the sidelines, ready to come on as a substitute. But unexpectedly, Kopa kept gesturing to the sidelines, signaling that he was okay, repeatedly refusing to go off, and the two sides were deadlocked for two minutes. The referee on duty had to rush over to communicate with Sarri, and kopa stayed on the pitch.
In the face of Kopa's disobedience to the arrangement, Sarri and assistant coach Zora on the sidelines were very angry. Back in the coaching room, Sarri pulled the zipper of his coat hard, slammed the contents of his seat on the ground, and walked straight to the locker room. However, after the players' tunnel door opened, the Chelsea boss restrained his anger and decided to calm down in the face of the upcoming penalty shootout.
Caballero was aggrieved.
Caballero, who failed to play, stood at the door of the players' tunnel very aggrieved, calming down, and the coaching staff stepped forward to pat the Argentine goalkeeper.
Although Kopa, who insisted on staying on the field, saved a penalty, but in the end Chelsea missed the title. The farce ended with rivals Manchester City winning the title, and Kopa, who failed to save the team, was pushed to the forefront of public opinion.
