Manchester City midfielder Fernandinho has stated that he loves the much derided Capital One Cup.
City sealed their place in the final of the Capital One Cup by claiming a come-from-behind victory over Everton on Wednesday and the Citizens are now viewed as favourites by many to claim the trophy when they face Liverpool at Wembley on February 28.
While majority are of the opinion that winning the League Cup does not hold too much importance, Fernandinho has now gone on to state that he loves the competition and does not understand why people undermine it.
Fernandinho said: "If some people don't like this competition, I don't understand it.
"I like EVERY competition I can play.
"It's a great opportunity to win a trophy by playing five or six games and a final, and it's important for the players and the club to win things.
"Wembley is special. I played there two years ago and we won and now we will go there again to play a good team – winning trophies is making history.
"When you win a title you gain confidence, and the supporters love you, because they want to win things as well."
