Frank Lampard gives blunt Chelsea assessment but insists he’s ‘not hurting’ after six straight defeats.
Frank Lampard, manager of Chelsea, claims he is “not hurting” despite recent disastrous outcomes for his club.
Since Lampard took over as temporary manager, the Blues have lost each of their six games played, going nine games without a victory altogether. The former midfielder stated during a news conference that the situation is “not good” and was not in the mood to downplay his team’s performances.
“If you want to list our last four Premier League games, they’re not good. That is the full picture,” he said. “Our league position is a reality, our points is a reality, our goals scored is a reality of the season.”
Lampard added: “I’m not hurting. I’ve been part of this club with big success. Any sport can give you moments of adversity. We at Chelsea have been pretty fortunate for 20 years. When the spotlight is on you, it’s on you. As a player or a coach, you have to understand that.”
With five games remaining and Chelsea now lying in 12th place in the Premier League standings, they are 24 points out of the Champions League berth.
When the London team visits on Saturday, they will look to snap their losing skid.
