Man United tell buyers to prep third bid, Ancelotti on Chelsea links, Brighton VAR axedLaura Woods expertly shuts down cheeky Ray Parlour over unexpected pyjama questionWrexham ace leaves talkSPORT studio in stitches with comment about Ryan Reynolds' mumLampard has joined Chelsea on an interim basis in the second half of the season, similar to how fellow club legend Roberto Di Matteo did in 2012.
The Italian went on to guide the club to their first ever Champions League title later on in the campaign, but Lampard has refused to get drawn into comparisons. When asked if he had spoken to Di Matteo, he replied: “No, I haven’t spoken to Robbie. I exchanged some messages with a few people, obviously a lot of people Chelsea related.“Guus Hiddink and ex-managers, people in the game, but I haven’t spoken to Robbie. I think there are parallels in probably a simple sense, we’re ex-players.“I think the year Robbie was here he was an assistant, had a big awareness of the squad and then got the job earlier in the year than I did.
“So I think my situation is different in practice, I do have an awareness of the squad but not at close hand to all of them. I think I have to be careful making that parallel because also we have very tough games in front of us starting tomorrow so there’s a lot of work to be done.“But we’re very committed to try, if we can, create our own little bit of history but the steps in front of us are very difficult of course.
