Frank Lampard, the former Chelsea coach, confirmed that he was shocked when he was dismissed from coaching the Blues, indicating that he wanted to stay for a longer period and achieve titles with the team, praising at the same time the capabilities of the current German coach Thomas Tuchel.
Lampard said in statements to the British newspaper "The Telegraph": "The dismissal hurt my pride, but my relationship with Chelsea is still strong. The shock was the number of times I was called to do housework, wash dishes, garbage, I am the garbage man, I take it out every Monday and Thursday."
He continued: "If I will return to Chelsea at the age of 55, and have achieved the championships, I think that the rule will be the same, there is always an expectation of what you offer, and that you will win and if this does not happen then you may leave the team."
"I was cleaning my shoes recently and I found one of the Premier League medals in a shoe. Maybe I put it in after the celebrations the morning after the end of the season and forgot about it, and found it in my shoes," Lampard said of joining the Premier League legends.
"So you could probably say I'm not interested in my medals, I'm interested in what's coming, where it's going, and I don't feel a real need to see a lot of reminders," Lampard continued.
He added, "I had a great work ethic and had a relative talent that I greatly valued, but nothing would have happened to me without Harry Redknapp in West Ham, Claudio Ranieri who brought me to Chelsea, Jose Mourinho who took me to another level, I can go on for a long time to mention." Persons.
And he continued: "As a child, I was the second or third best player in any team I played for, whether it was West Ham under 12 or 16 years old, or when I was in Arsenal and Tottenham's training."
He continued, "I have seen some quotes that say that Frank Lampard took this job because of his heart, I never did that, I don't make any professional decisions with my heart. Maybe I'm the exact opposite. I'll think about it a hundred times in my head, but I definitely do." I didn't do it in my heart, after my year in Derby County, I was so clear that I wanted to go to Chelsea, make them move the ball faster, make them cross the lines faster, I wanted to do my things and try to get some young players in the team. "
He continued: "I came out with a general sense of pride in what I had done, I wanted to stay longer, I wanted to achieve real tangible success, which in Chelsea is winning cups and championships, but that did not happen. I hope, in terms of taking the job, I have laid foundations." Strong for the future and where I wanted my coaching career to go, it was a great experience. "
Regarding his message to Takhil, Lampard said: “I felt it was the right thing to do. I think as you mature you realize that going to Chelsea may not last forever. Things around you will change and for me the only way to achieve long-term success and do the right thing is to act. Correct and show respect. "
He continued: "I remember Tochel leaving Paris Saint-Germain and it was the talk of the training ground when we came one day, where we had a lot of French-speaking players, and then he came to Chelsea."
He concluded, "He is clearly an elite coach and I appreciate his words last week. I was pleased to hear them because I think they are correct. I do not just give myself credit, but if I were in his place, I would definitely be speaking like this."
