Lampard on players hugging: 'We will do our best to control emotions'

15 Jan 2021


Frank Lampard insists his players will do their utmost to avoid hugging
when they celebrate goals even if football's natural instincts make that
difficult.


With Covid-19 cases and deaths in England at record levels and the country
in lockdown, there has been much scrutiny of late on footballers'
behaviour. The Premier League have released new guidelines this week aimed
at limiting contact, instructing 'handshakes, high fives and hugs' to be
avoided.


Lampard is certainly understanding of the need to socially distance as
much as possible and in his assessment of the current situation, he wanted
to highlight the fact footballers are going to work during a pandemic and
in other facets of life are obeying the rules.


'Players don't want to do the wrong thing,' said Lampard. 'When they are
on the pitch and they score a goal we will try and adapt as well as we
can. In a perfect world we would walk back to the halfway line and start
again, but with football maybe it won't quite be the case. I don't think
you can hold players hugely to account unless there is clear flouting of
those rules.

'But we need to do our best. Protocols are in place, they have been
hardened recently and I understand why. We will try to do the best as we
are told to keep minimising the threat we know this virus holds.


'Some people are being asked to work from home, and footballers aren't,'
added Lampard. 'They are putting themselves in an environment where they
are potentially in danger but also their family who they go home to, a
pregnant wife, a grandparent, a parent, a brother, a sister. We have to
understand footballers are human as well.


'To control the emotions is a fair ask but to dictate emotions on the
pitch will be difficult. I hope players can control it, but this beautiful
game we all love does bring out emotions.'


Lampard underlined what happens at Cobham is a different matter.


'We practise social distancing as much as we can in the training ground,'
he said. 'On the pitch it can be difficult at times, clearly, because you
have to train and get close to each other, but in training the instinct of
the moment shouldn't grab you as much as it would do in a game when you're
scoring in the Premier League.


'So it's definitely something I'll pass on to the players because you see
a lot of these group hugs when they win a five-a-side and that will be
something we look at.'
