Eddie Hao, the Newcastle coach, is looking for the “Carabau” “appetite” final against Liverpool next month.
Magpies's opponents were confirmed at the Wembley Show on March 16th Thursday evening as leaders in the Premier League at Arne Slot after Tottenham's 4-0 dismantling in ANFILD to secure a total victory 4-1.
Hao, who booked his team in the final match by beating Arsenal 4-0 in legs, says it will be a wonderful occasion next month, but urged his team to focus on “immediate challenges” first, starting from the fourth round of the FA Cup this weekend when they travel To Birmingham on Saturday.
“It is a great game. Liverpool did what they are doing in Anfield – it was really good. Everyone we were facing will be a difficult game, but Liverpool's play is a tie.
“We really look forward to this, but we need to put it in bed and focus on immediate challenges.
“The biggest challenge is to eliminate the final of our brains. When we play the likes of Liverpool, Man City and Nottingham Forest, very important and difficult games.”
This is the second time in three years in the final of the competition after losing 2-0 against Manchester United in 2023.
“I think we will do a little different things, but not from a fairy point,” he added.
“I was more fairy as a player, as a manager I tend to look at things a little different. I have become more free for myself. I have to get players in the best condition and let the fate do the rest of the work.”

Eddie Hao on Birmingham:
We respect them, Chris Davis did a great job. Every time you go to Birmingham, you realize the size of the club. It is a huge soccer club with a great supporter base.

Hao said that Sven Potman will miss a visit on Saturday to the leaders of the first league through the knee issue, which is not seriously believed after she just returned from a cruciate ligament injury.
“I don't think it will be available this week. Hao said:” He has taken a knee knee blow to an ACL injury. “
“It is not a serious injury, but it will keep it outside Birmingham before its evaluation next week.”
“You have changed our recruitment strategy.”
Newcastle did not sign any players during the recently closed transfer window, and Howe said that the rules of profit and sustainability in the Premier League mean that they focus more on developing talents instead of buying ready -made stars.
He said: “Making the stars is something that the club had a vision to do since my arrival. Men in the other (academic) building can really help in developing and prospering (players) and caring for them in the first team.
“With PSR, I think we may be more likely to this trend. If you can bring one or two gemstones, it can have a big difference and help in trying to achieve everything we want here.
“There is still room for well -known players and there must be a size club that we are. It is a mixture of both of them.”
