Frank Lampard has honestly assessed Chelsea’s poor form this season and his six successive defeats since taking over as interim manager.
Lampard spoke to the media ahead of Chelsea’s Premier League clash at Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon.
When asked if he’s hurting as a legend of the club, his reply was:
I’m not hurting because it might be me but I’ve been part of this club through its big success. It’s the same in sport, any sport, it can give you moments of adversity… It’s not one for me, personally, to sit on and hurt us – it’s more of finding the action of what’s going to get us out of this. The action this season is not going to get us in the Champions League, the top eight or whatever. Who knows where it will get us? But it will be like the first small step and that’s what we have to consider. Not all fans want to hear that but it’s a reality.”
Chelsea’s disastrous run leaves them sitting 12th in the Premier League table, and 24 points adrift of the Champions League spots with five games to play. Lampard’s side will hope to end their losing streak on Saturday when they visit Bournemouth.
