Former Chelsea player and current caretaker coach, Frank Lampard, has addressed the recent defeat of his team to rivals Arsenal at the Emirates on Tuesday night.
The match resulted in Chelsea’s 14th defeat of the season and Lampard’s dismal record as a manager, with just one win in 20 matches.
Speaking to reporters after the match, Lampard acknowledged that the team’s performance was not good enough, citing their tendency to be too passive and too nice to play against.
He went on to stress that this was an issue that needed to be corrected, but it would not be an overnight fix.
Lampard also pointed out that Arsenal had been building their team for three years, while he had only been in his role for three weeks.
He explained that it was impossible to make significant changes in such a short period of time and emphasized the importance of getting the basics right before making progress.
In summary, Lampard’s comments reveal the ongoing struggles faced by Chelsea and the challenges he faces as a new caretaker coach in trying to turn things around.
