Not exact matches
And the opinion of a player who knows what it takes to succeed, having won five domestic

The
league cup (not Carling or capital one or any other sponsor its had) is a Micky mouse
cup that's really is not
worth the effort
Call me unambitious but I will always say the
league cup is not
worth the hassle, its I Micky mouse
cup that should only be used to test young players I didn't want us to win it against Chelsea or Birmingham I fact I was partly cheering for the bromies we should be focusing on the

Mertsacker's excellent performance in the FA
Cup final shows that he is still

cup final and 2016 copa america final!

However it's clear hes not that bright, he's never really won anything himself (
league cup is the pinnacle) and he's never really cracked it at international level (a dozen games for England), so his opinion is not really
worth worrying about.
He showed his
worth as the man for the big occasion with impressive displays against Europe's elite in the Champions
League, scored the second goal against West Ham in the victory that clinched the title and lifted the Capital One
