Lampard draws parallels with 2003 as final-day decider looms

There is not as much on the line today as the final day of the 2002/03
Premier League season, when Chelsea faced Liverpool in a draw-or-bust
clash for Champions League qualification which had significant
consequences for the financial health of the football club, though Frank
Lampard can draw some parallels with the tension of that day 17 years ago
as he prepares his Blues side to face a final-day decider of their own
this afternoon.


The Blues host Wolverhampton Wanderers at Stamford Bridge with our
top-four fate in their own hands; avoid defeat against the Midlanders and
a place at the top table of European competition next season will be ours.


We have an insurance policy too in that a Manchester United win at
Leicester City will also secure a finish in the top four for Lampard's
side, though the boss is not considering that possibility as he seeks the
three points that would complete the delayed and doubted objective of
Champions League qualification.


Premier League 2019/2020

POS TEAM P W D L gF gA gD PTS
====================================================================
1 Liverpool 37 31 3 3 82 32 50 96
2 Manchester City 37 25 3 9 97 35 62 78
3 Manchester United 37 17 12 8 64 36 28 63
4 Chelsea 37 19 6 12 67 54 13 63
5 Leicester City 37 18 8 11 67 39 28 62


The stakes were undoubtedly even higher back in 2003 as Lampard the player
looked to help Chelsea back into the Champions League for the first time
in four years. Back then, it wasn't just competing against the European
elite on the line. The club's finances were in a bad position and the
injection of Champions League revenue was essential.


The players were gathered for a pre-match meeting with the then-chief
executive Trevor Birch, who explained to them the significance of the game
on the club's finances and future. A motivational talk from the military
was also arranged to eke out even more from the team ahead of such a
crunch clash.


Lampard, aged 24 at the time, recalls it being the most high-pressure
moment of his career up to that point, perhaps a feeling his young players
can relate to in the modern day.


'It was the first time that I had felt tension to that level because of
what was at stake,' he remembers. 'It was made very clear to us at the
club that if we didn't qualify for the Champions League then the club
would have gone in a very different direction so I remember the build-up
and I remember the feeling.

Beating Liverpool in 2003 was as big a result in the boardroom as it was
on the field


'It was pretty shocking because in a footballer's life you strive for
success but you're also very aware that we're lucky to do the things that
we do and play for a club like Chelsea.


'We were all enjoying it and we felt very proud to do so but then when you
hear that one game could determine if the club goes out of business or
into administration or whatever it was at the time, it was a huge deal. I
was loving playing for Chelsea so the idea that it might turn on one game
was very hard-hitting.'


Lampard admits the talk from a member of the military before the game was
quite impactful and we can look back now, almost two decades later, with
fondness because of the result and the way things have turned out since.


'It was quite inspiring and the story ended well because we managed to get
the result that we needed,' he continues. 'I remember we had an army
general come to the hotel and speak to us in a motivational talk, which
was actually really good, and then we went out and produced.


'It was a huge day for Chelsea Football Club as a whole and something
really interesting to be part of - one of the big experiences of my life
because of what it meant going forward.'


That sliding doors moment will remain a defining chapter in Chelsea
history, leading to the new ownership of Roman Abramovich that summer and
the subsequent unprecedented level of on-field success and off-field
investment in infrastructure throughout the club.


Lampard does not believe we are at the same juncture now but he does
acknowledge the stakes are high.


'I'm not sure we should relate that feeling to now at Chelsea,' he says.
'That was a huge moment but now we're in a different place. If we make it
into the Champions League, it is financially a big deal for us but I still
think we are a club that will look to push on next year and onwards.


The boss has no plans to bring in special motivational speakers today and
admits that there is a fine balance to strike between inspiring and
paralysing a group of players ahead of such a big test.


'That's the balance you strive for and we all have our own ways of doing
it,' he explains. 'My experience is that it has to feel very real and the
right moment. If you try too hard to over-play something or over-motivate
and you go completely out of the box, you have to be quite careful.


'It was a very good tool at the time to have the Army general and when we
played in the Champions League final with [Roberto] Di Matteo we had
videos of our children saying good luck, which was a completely different
tone so it just shows you the spectrum and how it can work.

Frank will be hoping for a similar performance and result to that 5-2 win
at Molineux later today at the Bridge


'We're not quite in that situation this time - the club was on the line in
2003 and the Champions League final was a huge moment. Now we're in a
moment where at the end of our season we have an opportunity to get a
position that maybe people didn't expect us to be in.


'It's not the ultimate achievement but it would be some sort of
achievement so I'll let the players know that in very straight terms. They
have to feel it, that's the most important thing.'

蘭帕德：這個賽季我們付出了一切

2020.07.26


蘭帕德很高興其他人能夠對他在切爾西的第一個賽季的表現做出自己的評價和分
析，他說他感覺已經取得了積極的進步，而且在尋求進步的道路上並沒有什麼障礙。


https://i.imgur.com/0MuCeQt.jpg


本賽季最後兩場國內比賽將決定蘭帕德在斯坦福橋執教的首個賽季的成功程度。
如果他的球隊能在今天對陣狼隊的最後一場比賽中避免失敗，他們將確保前四的排名
和歐洲冠軍聯賽的資格，與許多分析家在賽季前的預期相反。


六天之後，我們將回到溫布利參加足總盃與阿森納的決賽，這是一個以獎盃結束
這個賽季的機會。蘭帕德不相信過去12個月的工作可以用接下來的兩場比賽來評判，
但他也承認它們會對比賽產生影響。


“我更喜歡其他人談論這個問題，我相信很多人都會這麼做。”主教練說，“我
不認為這完全取決於下週發生的事情，因為在一場比賽中有些事情會有點失控。”

亞伯拉罕、芒特和托莫里在莫里納球場對陣狼隊的比賽中都進了球，如果能在今天的
比賽中再次取得進球，那將是完美的


“作為一個整體，我們已經取得了一些進步，我們如何展望明年，我們的夏季窗
口可能會怎樣，希望有真正積極的事情來。我所做的一切都是為了讓我們回到現在的
位置，所以我們希望我們能在接下來的兩場比賽中取得好成績。”


“如果我們做到了，我想我一定會非常高興，因為我知道今年我已經為這份工作
付出了一切。這就是我對自己的要求，並在前進的過程中不斷嘗試和改進。”


維爾納和齊耶赫是已經確定下賽季加盟的兩名球員，儘管改善本賽季已經丟了54
個球的後防線仍然是蘭帕德的首要任務。然而，他並不認為後衛的進步必須以犧牲進
攻自由為代價，他指出球隊需要在比賽中取得適當的平衡。


“我認為我們需要做的事情不一定會影響我們的進攻威脅。”他接著說，“你可
以兩者兼顧，但這需要工作、時間以及團隊的平衡。很明顯，今年我是帶著轉會禁令
來到這裡的，有很多工作要做，一些年輕球員要在球隊的某些位置上發揮作用，我們
必須努力工作。”


https://i.imgur.com/sm7juYa.jpg
齊耶赫最近在科本和他的新隊友一起訓練，他將在下賽季幫助提升球隊的排名


“我們已經特別努力的工作。我不能說任何事情的發生都是為了球隊的每個成員
和工作人員在訓練場上的努力，但是當然作為一個球隊你想要發展。”


“我看到過其他非常成功的球隊，不管你多麼努力，總會有一些地方不合適的時
候。我們正在朝著某個目標努力。也許現在我們在考慮如何招募球員，因為我們一直
希望能在像切爾西這樣的俱樂部裡有所進步，當然我也希望看到球隊各方面的成績。”
