Lampard: Only Jose Mourinho does not consider Tottenham a participant in the championship race

Chelsea head coach Frank Lampard commented on the words of colleague Jose Mourinho after the match of the 10th round of the Premier League with Tottenham Hotspur (0: 0) that the Spurs do not claim the championship this season in the English Premier League.

“Only Jose looks at the situation this way – this is his personal opinion. However, we see that Tottenham are now in the league leaders and are a contender for the final victory.

If Chelsea are the Premier League contenders, then they are exactly the same contenders. If you have Harry Kane and Son Heung Min on your team, who have seven and nine goals, respectively, then it is strange to say that you are not in the race.

They have invested a lot of money because they have players like Gareth Bale sitting on the bench and Dele Alli who is not even on the list. Spurs are a strong team. So I think we are all fighting for the championship. But, I repeat, Jose can speak as he sees it himself, “- quotes the words of Lampard Goal.com.

Lampard on Tiago Silva at Chelsea: “He knows how to command on the pitch and influence others»

Chelsea Manager Frank Lampard has commented on the moves of defenders Tiago Silva and Ben Chilwell to the London club.

“I know Chilwell very well, he has been the main left-back for England for a long time. He has excellent data, if we talk about what he can bring. He is strong, physically developed, plays well with his left foot, fits our style.

It can help us a lot on the left flank, both in attack and defense, and this is the main thing. I’m happy to work with him, I think it’s a great acquisition. He is 23 years old, and this is also good for us.

I know Silva as well as anyone. He will bring experience, he still plays at the highest level, as was seen in the Champions League final and in the matches that preceded it. This is what I expect from him: his experience, his leadership skills, his skills. This will be extremely important to us.

We have a relatively young team, we saw last season that there were matches when I needed more volume on the field, more leadership qualities, and Tiago has this, he can command on the field and is able to influence others. I think he can give us that. I am sure he will do it, given his qualities, which everyone knows about, and I am happy with his transition, ” Lampard said.

Lampard on Chelsea’s challenge for the new season: “we Don’t want to limit ourselves to just fighting for the top 4»

Chelsea Manager Frank Lampard spoke after the second leg of the 1/8 final of the Champions League with Bayern Munich (1-4) and shared his expectations for the next season.

“Playing against an opponent of this level is a test to the limit and an incredible experience for Rhys [James], Callum [Hudson-Odoi], Tammy [Abraham] and Mason [Mount]. Today I saw that our youth demonstrated their level, remained in the game until the end and did not give up until the final whistle.

Kante has only played half the games this season and we missed him very much, and today, especially in the second half, he showed exactly why. Of course, the final result cannot please us. We probably didn’t have a chance to win, but we went out on the field with the right attitude and gave everything we had.

I will never be able to accept defeats calmly, but if you compare these two teams, we need time to get to this level. This cannot be achieved in one day. Now the players are going on a well-deserved rest, but we are looking forward to the start of the new season, in which we will do everything to achieve more.

We know what level we are at now, and next season we don’t want to limit ourselves to just fighting for the top four. We must accept our initial level, work hard, and understand that everything takes time. Now I see a great set of players who have done a lot this year and are ready to do even more next year,” Lampard said.

Frank Lampard: Chelsea will return. It’s hard to talk after a 1-4 defeat»

Chelsea Manager Frank Lampard summed up the results of the second leg of the 1/8 final of the Champions League with Bayern (1: 4).

On the sum of two games, the Londoners lost 1: 7 and left the tournament.

“For us to face Bayern and their experience in the Champions League is a good training session. Many of our players spend their debut seasons. I see the direction I want us to go. I know we’ll be back.

They have performed well. It is difficult to speak after the 1-4 defeat, it is unpleasant, but we still got back into the game, conceding two quick goals.

Comparing our performances in the Champions League with theirs, I saw a lot of good things in the team, but also some bad things to slip through this season. We had some mistakes, thanks to which the opponent scored. At this level, it will kill you.

The work continues. This is not the norm for Chelsea. We almost lost the best player in the League in the person of Eden hazard. People don’t usually approve of Chelsea’s fourth place, we want more, but it feels like we have achieved something with the team.

Now it’s time to think about what we can improve, ” Lampard said.
