Proposal to change the format of the Carabao Cup semifinals
According to The Sun: The Tottenham coach,
THOMAS FRANK, suggested canceling the two-legged semifinals of the Carabao Cup. He believes this will help avoid situations where the same teams constantly win trophies, making the competition less interesting.
He also emphasized that this change will reduce the burden on teams that are already feeling the pressure from numerous matches.
Tottenham will soon face the reigning champions Newcastle in the fourth round.
The change in format could significantly impact the structure of the Carabao Cup and ensure greater competitiveness in the tournament. The idea attracts attention, as competitions should remain clear and exciting for fans, rather than turning into a routine. It is worth noting that a review of the tournament format could be an important step in its evolution.
