Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish thinks that a Carling Cup win will inspire Liverpool to a strong finish in the Premiership.
Liverpool face Welsh underdogs Cardiff City in the Carling Cup final at Wembley this Sunday, and have not even played at the new stadium since it opened in 2007.
Liverpool manager Dalglish said: “Yes, winning the trophy can be a big thing for the club, and you can be proud of that achievement, because every football club that wins a trophy is making a bigger name for itself,” He added: “But we have still got a huge opportunity in front of us to make the season relatively successful.
“We’ve got the final of the Carling Cup, the FA Cup sixth round at home to Stoke and some really important league matches coming up.
“We can’t afford to relax, because this could be a decent season for everybody. We hope that there is still room for improvement and we never stop trying to improve on where we are.
“I think everybody would deem this as relatively successful. But everybody wants to make it more successful and be contenders for more trophies.”
The Liverpool fans of course refer to Wembley as Anfield South a term Dalglish was familiar with after his triumphs there as a player.
When talking about this he said: “Wembley was a place we visited pretty regularly and everybody at the football club is trying to get back a bit closer to those days,” he said.
“This football club wants to be challenging more often than it has been in the past.
“We want to be closer that we have been recently, when we have not been a contender for many of the competitions, certainly the domestic ones.
“I don’t really have too many memories of Wembley. I just cannot remember! I don’t have any real definitive memory other than the ’89 Cup final because of what it meant to so many other people in the city.
