Frank Lampard Player Quotations

Of course it is going to be difficult for any player to get in the Chelsea side no matter who they are.

When you see young players coming into the squad and pushing you, no matter what age you are, you have to react. You have to worry about yourself and perform as well as you can. If you end up looking around at others, wondering whos performing better, you take your eye off the ball.

I have never seen a player as driven and determined as me, quietly determined; that's why I always want to do the best.

Footballers do get a hard time, and there is a lot of generalization going on. When you get to meet players and know them as lads, it's always a bit different.

I am certainly not the most talented player in the world; there's many a more talented player than me.

Even with the quality of players that we have, they're an extremely hard side to break down and once they get on top of you, you find it difficult to stem the flow of attacks.

I'm not the kind of player to see out my time and sit with my bum on the bench too much. I want to be involved. That's my character.

If players are performing for you, their age shouldn't really matter, especially because the older players can bring their experience to the table.

In international football, you need pace and you need your players up top to create things out of nothing and run at people.

I admit I was somewhat concerned when we started to sign so many players - naturally you are going to worry about whether you can retain your place in the side.

Training's completely different now. It used to be a lot of running and work without the ball. Now it's all with the ball, which any player loves.

There's a few ugly ones. Carlo is probably the best looking [on chelsea players]

Eden Hazard is a great player. He has magic

Henry is a great man, I really like him. He is a great professional and I think he will be a great captain for them. He's been the outstanding player in the Premiership for the last three or four years

But we have the players, as we have shown against good opposition this season, we're an extremely difficult side to live with at home. (on Chelsea)

I think when you have spent the money that we have, it's bound to bring it's own pressure. The players have shown that they can handle that though. (on Chelsea)

When you look at the caliber of players in the England squad and their ability, why should we go into the tournament fearing anyone?

I think every player enjoys praise and I have to work extremely hard on the training ground to bring my game together.

Obviously, it has taken time to work with the players around me and with so many new faces coming in the summer, in a way it's been more difficult.

In a way, I've thrived on the competition, perhaps it has made a better player because of it.
