DBasia.news – Chelsea manager Frank Lampard is considered to be under high pressure and is in danger of being fired following the decline in the Blues’ performance. He is even believed to have higher pressure than Mikel Arteta when looking at Chelsea player spending.
Chelsea indulged Lampard with players such as Timo Werner, Kai Havertz, Hakim Ziyech, Edouard Mendy and Thiago Silva. However, in the last few matches Chelsea’s performance, which was in the top three of the standings, has decreased.
This led to pressure and rumors of Lampard’s dismissal with one of his candidates, the newly fired PSG coach, Thomas Tuchel. Former Chelsea defender Scott Minto hopes that this (dismissal) does not happen.
According to him, the culture at Chelsea must change by giving confidence in Lampard. Because Chelsea is known as a club that is impatient by sacking managers in order to achieve instant results.
“Don’t pressure Frank Lampard with the possibility of losing his job,” Minto told Stadium Astro.
“People all over the world are desperate now, looking at the money that has been spent, everyone wants instant (success). Everyone wants it now and it doesn’t happen that way.”
“We can’t forget that Frank Lampard is a very inexperienced manager, he learns on the move, and you listen to him and he says – for example after the Arsenal game – it’s about players who don’t give enough. He can’t do more than that. “
“He’s trying to change things at the moment and he really has to start winning against the top six teams, that’s no doubt. But I’m sure he will do that.”
“In terms of going forward, I hope he will be Chelsea manager for the next three or four years,” hoped Minto.
Minto hopes that Lampard will be given time to maximize the potential of his squad, which is filled with new players. Currently Chelsea is still stuck in sixth place in the standings with 26 points from 16 Premier League matches.
