Lampard on Giroud's four-goal haul, a complete performance and the
challenge that lies ahead in the Champions League

02 Dec 2020


Frank Lampard was delighted with the performance of the players who came
into his team as he made nine changes for our match away at Sevilla, and
none more so than the scorer of all four of our goals, Olivier Giroud.

Our head coach handed opportunities to the players in his squad who had
been impressing him in training and pushing for a starting spot despite
having to be patient for their playing time so far.


However, the transition of the players coming in proved seamless as we
defeated Sevilla 4-0 in Spain to guarantee we would qualify for the
knockout stages of the Champions League as group winners.


Giroud obviously stood out as he scored four times, including a perfect
hat-trick, and Lampard couldn't have been happier for the model
professional who remains an important part of the Chelsea squad both as a
player and an example for others.


'It was an amazing performance, to score four goals at this level,
Champions League level, and against a really good opponent,' said Lampard.
'The individual quality of all of his goals – I know the last one was a
penalty – but the team quality of the goals and his individual input were
good to see. Four goals, rightly he gets a standing ovation as he comes
off the pitch. I'm delighted for him.


'He is the ultimate professional and I think he's done that in his career
and I think that's why with Oli, you see his numbers with France, you see
his numbers in the Champions League. He wasn't always a regular when I got
here but as soon as I came in I could feel the positivity of him as a
player – how he wants to train, how he wants to affect people whether he
starts or not.

Lampard congratulates Giroud on his goals


'He's started a lot for us now and been very impactful in terms of how he
was in restart and performances like tonight. So he's great for the
younger players, for other players when they're not always playing or in
the squad of 20-plus that we have, that happens of course. They keep
training well and when they come in they perform like they did tonight.
That was a really, really complete performance in the circumstances
tonight.'


Giroud's supporting cast also deserve plenty of credit for how we played
in Spain


'When you play Oli you know his attributes. It's important we get a lot of
energy around him, people that can run off him, support him. He has the
qualities to hold the ball up obviously, and quality with balls in the box
like N'Golo puts in.

Kante supplied the cross for Giroud's third goal


'So I loved all those parts of us at the top end of the pitch, having made
nine changes in a game, because as I said players are deserving to play,
because I see them training well. Some players can get their heads down if
they're not playing lots of minutes and that's always a worry when you
make that level of changes.


'But the focus and concentration of the team, in the moments you suffer
which you always will do against a team like this. In the first half we
dealt with things, we defended well, we were organised and some of our
play was great. Whether it was our comfort on the ball or whether it was
our counter-attacking at pace to cause a threat to them, there were so
many big pluses from tonight and we need to continue with that.'


Plenty of players' performances gave him difficult selection decisions to
make for our next game against Leeds


'That's what you ask for I suppose when you make nine changes. I always
say when I pick the team I try and pick the best team for the game and not
to have favourites as such. You try and put the best team on paper. When
players play as they did today they give you a great problem. It's not a
problem, that's the wrong way to describe it, it's just having a top
player playing with quality, playing with dedication.'


The win continued our progression this season, even if bigger challenges
lie ahead in the Champions League


'I'm pleased with where we're at. The levels will obviously go up in the
next stage, which we've thankfully qualified for and we've topped the
group at this early stage. So that's great for our confidence but the
levels will go up, the competition goes up, we found that out last year.


'But we're in a different place now. We are improving. I felt that and
I'll never be one to get carried away, but I knew at the start of the
season, with the new players having some time to bed in, the younger
players to mature. We're seeing that in the younger players, the maturity
of their levels.

Lampard was also impressed with our defensive performance


'The young players are reacting to competition and experienced players are
affecting things and reacting to competition. Look at Oli today, but you
could look around at other performances within that team, with Jorginho,
Rudiger, Azpilicueta and others.


'We have to keep improving because at this stage now things will get
tougher game by game as we go through. What I'm pleased with is we are in
a position where we are gaining confidence so that we feel we can take on
any opponent. That's the progression that we're in, today was another step
for us.'
