Lampard’s mixed feelings in Manchester
25 MAY 2023
Frank Lampard contrasted crucial parts of Chelsea’s play at either end of the pitch with those of Manchester United as he explained reasons why we left Old Trafford with a 4-1 defeat.
蘭帕德將卻爾西在球場兩端的關鍵表現與曼聯進行了對比，解釋了為什麼我們帶著 1-4 的失利離開老特拉福德。
There was no lack of attacking opportunities for the Blues on Thursday night but in the end we only had a late Joao Felix goal to show from them, albeit a very good one. Man United however made the Blues pay when we gave them a sniff of the target.
藍軍在週四晚上的比賽中不乏進攻機會，但最終我們只有菲利克斯在最後時刻的進球，儘管這個進球非常精彩。但當我們給了曼聯進球的機會時，曼聯讓藍軍付出了代價。
‘They [Man United] had a clinical nature in front of goal,’ said Lampard. ‘We were the better football team in the middle chunk of the game. For possession and chances created we matched them at least; we had better chances. Then to be 2-0 down in that situation is a sign of where we are at.
“他們（曼聯）在門前表現得非常冷靜，” 蘭帕德說， “在比賽的中段，我們是表現更好的球隊。在控球和創造機會方面，我們至少與他們相當，而且我們有更好的機會，但在這種情況下 0-2 落後說明了我們目前的情況。”
‘I have mixed feelings, we played okay in parts today. There were some individual performances within the game which I think can be nice shoots for the future, if they are worked on, but of course the reality when you come to Manchester United is how clinical they are in front of goal, how non-clinical we are, how we defended poorly individually in the second half. That’s how the result can come.
“我的心情很複雜，我們今天的部分表現還不錯。比賽中有一些球員的個人表現，我認為如果他們能好好努力的話，將來會有很好的發展，當然當我們來到老特拉福德的時候，他們在門前表現得非常有效率，而我們則否，我們在下半場的個人防守非常糟糕，結果就是這樣產生的。”
‘There is talent in the squad but it was another reality day today. It is going to take work to change that.’
“球隊裡有很多天才球員，但今天的情況又是現實的一天，要改變這種狀況需要付出努力。”
The caretaker manager emphasised that for any Premier League team to win consistently, its overall standards must be kept high.
蘭帕德強調，任何一支英超球隊要想持續獲勝，就必須保持高標準的表現。
‘It is about training well every day, trying to improve, being a real collective unit,’ he said. ‘There is not a lack of effort, but you build credit through training, preparation and resilience.
“重要的是每天好好訓練，努力進步，成為一個真正的集體。” 他說， “這不是缺乏努力的問題，但需要通過訓練、準備和適應力建立聲譽。”
‘It’s been a bad year for the club and many clubs have these years. We have had massive success over the last 20 years.’
“今年對俱樂部來說是糟糕的一年，很多俱樂部都是這樣，但我們在過去的 20 年裡取得了巨大的成功。”

Every word from Frank Lampard's brutal Chelsea assessment, Man Utd path and training revelation
By Scott Trotter, Chelsea writer - 23:41, 25 MAY 2023
．You've spoken a lot about what the team can get out of the last games, what is your feeling?
I don't think it's about my personal feeling. I think it's probably about the reality of where we're at. I've said it a lot going into the game, when things are off for a period, it's been the season for us, you can probably trace it back to pre-season, it's not easy to turn it. Then when you go into the run-in against top clubs that are going for something. Nothing is a given in this game.
Mixed feelings. We played okay in parts today. There were some individual performances within the game which will be nice shoots for the future if they're worked on. The reality is when you come to Manchester United is how clinical they are in front of goal, how not clinical we were, how we defended individually poorly in the second half. The result can come.
．Bad performances today but you have to ask, are some players good enough?
It's a question I think as a professional at the top level, will be asked of you in a period of bad form. The only way to answer that is to answer with your performance and it starts with how you work and how you train and how you prepare and if I'm honest collectively that's been the thing that was quite glaringly short.
There are a lot of reasons for that, that's not just a dig, that's because there sometimes are variables. It's been a tough season, people talk about the squad size, things that are very valid. At the same time, coming in this short period, you can see, when a group is training and it's really together and pushing and pushing each other, then good things come and you as an individual improve within that. At the moment, that momentum is not there, it's clear.
It doesn't matter when I get asked, 'why did you play a back five?' that gets analysed or play a back four, you've got to defend, responsibility individually much more: that's modern football. You see some shortcomings. It's not a tactical thing and it's not been a tactical thing since I've been here. It's been more about assessing where the group are: can you help individuals within it?
I don't want to throw a blanket because there are some individuals that done quite well tonight and will improve and will get better. There isn't a huge stability in the team and in the squad. Whereas players previous years have come in and had time to find their own way, now they've time to come on and make a difference and it's not easy. There's a lot to it rather than to say it's not good enough. Of course results for Chelsea this season. Not good enough.
．A lot of talk about Chelsea's squad being bloated but so is technical department? Are you confident there is the right structure?
I feel like you're making statements rather than asking questions. I'm not going to comment on that. I'm here to comment on the squad. In my short time I have good relations with people at the club. Because it's a short period, we all knew what it was and we all know we wanted to be better. As it goes on those decisions will be for people to make.
In terms of the squad, that's what I really care about. I think there's talent in the squad. It was another reality today. When you look at the emphatic nature of Manchester United at the top end of the pitch compared to us and when you look at some of the experience they have and the nous at the back end of the pitch to make the right decision at the right time. That is the situation and it's going to take time to change that.
．Most damage was done before you arrive, can looking at Ten Hag's job give optimism?
I think it's really difficult to compare. It's not for me to analyse where Manchester United were to where they are now. I think they've got fantastic players. Rashford must have scored 30 goals this year or something, Varane's experience at the back, Fernandes who has been here and we know the level of player he is. You can go through their team and find a real stability still within their team. You can bring Casemiro in for his instant experience. There are a lot of factors and not just the manager the club. I don't think it's a comparison.
Of course we should be optimistic, we should look for pluses, we should look for the future being more positive than what it's been this season, that's clear. I don't think it's one to compare because every situation is different and I think we have to go step by step to look at the big picture rather than just a new manager will change this.
I'm not taking anything away from the job that Erik has done, or any top manager because you know that is part of it. At the same time there has to be basics, there has to be fundamentals. I remember when Ten Hag came at the start of the season, people were talking about his discipline and his fines and his laws and Ronaldo and this situation.
Set the standard and the tone of how you go forward. That has nothing to do with the individual, that comes after the event. I think those things are probably where the club had a positive upturn and then sometimes the players and a good structure will do the rest for you.
