Frank Lampard insists Chelsea will look to bridge the gap to the top of the Premier League in their own way, and will not copy Liverpool or Manchester City.
Speaking on The Football Show, Lampard says bridging that gap will not be done easily, but says the Blues have their own unique process in the search for success.
“I’d be a fool to suggest we can bridge that gap quickly because there has been a lot of hard work at those clubs in terms of recruitment of top players, of great coaches. “
“We have had experienced players around this year to help the youngsters but we know there are little areas within the squad… some of that’s what we have on the ground here already, some of that is how we might look to recruit.”
Regarding the postponement of football due to the coronavirus pandemic, Lampard admits there has to be a large element of trust given to his players that they are keeping fit and healthy.
“It’s very hard to manage fitness. You have to have a big element of trust in the players. They are good professionals.”
“They’re all trying to be in as good a condition they can be coming back and the one good thing is that we had four or five major-ish injuries and it’s given them time to have a bit of rehab work. Hopefully that gets us a bit fresher when we come back.”
