Preview Final Carling Cup

Juande Ramos is awaiting the Carling Cup final as eagerly as anyone, and believes the key lies in believing they are not second best.

Cup finals are nothing news for Juande Ramos, who has quite a habit of winning these.In fact, until Sevilla were beaten by Milan in the European Super Cup clash last year, they had seen off Middlesbrough, Barcelona, Espanyol and Getafe to claim a number of trophies under Ramos. "What is the secret? Above all, we have to try to convince the players they're not inferior to Chelsea," he said on Friday.

"It's a game of 90 minutes, 11 against 11. They have a lot of possibilities to win the game.If they play scared, then we could end up losing because of that, so it's up to us to be able to convince them they can win."

Indeed, that was how Sevilla rubbed shoulders with Real Madrid and Barcelona."Sevilla, when we played Real Madrid and Barcelona, were never inferior to them because we had that mentality and we ended up winning those games and winning trophies," he added."

The players need to believe they have the capability to do more than they were doing." His final say on Cup finals? "It is a bit like war. You either live or die." (Source: Neal Glew, Goal.com)
