The new experiences are coming thick and fast for Frank Lampard the manager. This afternoon at Cobham following training, he sat down in front of the media to preview a competitive match for the very first time as Chelsea boss.
It was a packed room, with journalists from all over the world desperate to get their question across to Lampard. The eve of a new season is always a tantalising time for any football fan, and for those of a Chelsea persuasion even more so when one of our true greats will be in the dugout. The boss is determined for his Blues side to maximise their potential and show what they are capable of in the coming weeks and months.
‘We have had a good pre-season, but now the real stuff is coming,’ said Lampard.
‘You can feel it in the air. I am excited and the players are excited, and now we have to deliver. With the ban it’s been very easy to write off this squad, but I am not writing it off. We are hungry to try and prove to everybody we will be up there this year. I believe in this squad.
