Frank Lampard faces a monumental task as Chelsea caretaker boss to revive the club’s fortunes after a woeful domestic campaign. The Londoners have slumped to 11th place in the Premier League, a staggering 17 points adrift of the top four. Lampard’s charges have lost their last four league matches, including a disappointing defeat against Wolves on the weekend. With no hope of a domestic trophy, Chelsea’s only chance of salvaging silverware is by winning the Champions League. They face a stern test in the quarter-finals, taking on reigning champions Real Madrid in the Spanish capital.
‘He’s got huge potential and we’ve seen him produce at the highest level before. We’re hoping that he can find that form again and help us finish the season strongly.’
Sterling has been an integral part of Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City side in recent seasons, helping them win three Premier League titles and reach the Champions League final last year.
The 27-year-old has also been a key player for England, scoring 15 goals in 66 appearances for the Three Lions. With Chelsea looking to turn around their poor form and finish the season with a flourish, Lampard will be hoping that Sterling can rediscover his best form and provide a much-needed boost to the team.
Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has expressed his admiration for Raheem Sterling and believes the Manchester City winger could be key to ending his side’s season on a high note. Lampard, who previously managed Derby County and was an assistant coach at Everton, has been impressed by Sterling’s ability to score 20-plus goals a season and considers him to be one of the best wingers in the world. He plans to work with Sterling to find the right team structure that will bring out the best in him and drive him to succeed. The Chelsea boss has already had discussions with Sterling and intends to speak with him more in the future.
Lampard is optimistic that Sterling can raise his game for the crucial Champions League quarter-final clash against Real Madrid. He believes that the winger has the quality and confidence to perform at the highest level and is no stranger to big games. Lampard also acknowledged that some members of the squad are younger and less experienced, making Sterling’s experience and proven track record in big games all the more valuable. As Chelsea look to turn their fortunes around and secure silverware, the contribution of Sterling could be a key factor in their success.
