Man City vs Chelsea press conference: Lampard confirms Badiashile out, latest on Koulibaly recovery and Haaland's threat
19 MAY 2023
Ahead of Sunday's match, Frank Lampard had mixed news on our defenders' fitness, with one centre-back approaching a return but another joining the injury list, while revealing the time he tried to bring opponents Manchester City's biggest attacking threat to Chelsea.
在週日的比賽前，蘭帕德透露我們後衛的健康狀況不同，一名中後衛即將復出，但另一名中後衛加入了傷兵名單，同時蘭帕德談到了對手曼城最大的進攻威脅。
Speaking to the media before taking his Chelsea team to the Etihad Stadium to face Premier League leaders Manchester City, Frank Lampard delivered the latest news on who will and won't be available for Sunday's game.
率領卻爾西前往伊蒂哈德球場迎戰英超領頭羊曼城之前，蘭帕德對媒體發表了最新消息，透露了誰將在週日的比賽中出場和缺席。
It is largely as we were for last week's home game against Nottingham Forest, although Lampard was able to report some pleasing progress for Kalidou Koulibaly in his bid to return before the end of the season.
與我們上週主場對陣諾丁漢森林的比賽差不多，但蘭帕德透露了庫里巴利一些令人高興的進展，他將爭取在賽季結束前回歸。
However, he has lost another member of his defence, with a fresh problem for Benoit Badiashile meaning the Frenchman joins Mason Mount, Ben Chilwell, Reece James, N'Golo Kante and Marc Cucurella in the treatment room.
但球隊又失去了一名後防線成員，巴迪亞西勒受傷，他加入了芒特、奇爾維爾、里斯．詹姆士、坎特和庫庫雷利亞的行列。
'Injury-wise, we’re pretty much similar to where we have been recently, in terms of Mason, Reece, Chilly, N’Golo and Marc Cucurella are not fit,' said Lampard. 'Koulibaly has been training with us over the last week but is probably not really ready for a game like this, but he is ahead of schedule to be fair.
“傷病方面，與最近的情況差不多，梅森、里斯、奇利、恩戈洛和庫庫雷利亞都因傷缺席。” 蘭帕德說。 “庫里巴利上週一直和我們一起訓練，但可能還沒有準備好踢比賽，不過坦白說他已經超前進度了。”
'Benoit injured himself in training two days ago, his groin, and will miss the game. We’re assessing that now as we speak.'
“巴迪亞西勒在兩天前的訓練中受傷了，是腹股溝，他將缺席這場比賽。此時此刻，我們正在評估他的傷情。”
Our caretaker manager also highlighted the threat of Manchester City striker Erling Haaland as a problem we will have to contend with at the Etihad Stadium, outlining the huge respect he has for the Norway international and revealing he attempted sign him during his first spell in the Stamford Bridge dug-out.
蘭帕德還強調了曼城前鋒哈蘭德的威脅，這是我們在伊蒂哈德球場必須面對的一個問題，他強調了對哈蘭德的極大尊重，並透露在斯坦福橋執教的第一個賽季就試圖簽下哈蘭德。
'I’ve got huge respect for him, he’s a player I tried to bring to Chelsea the first time I was here. Obviously that couldn’t happen, but his level at that point was very clear as well, we played against him in a pre-season game with Salzburg and he was fantastic.
“我非常尊敬他，他是我第一次在卻爾西執教時就想把他帶到球隊的球員。顯然那是不可能發生的，但他在那時候的水平顯而易見，我們在與薩爾茲堡的季前賽中對陣過他，他的表現非常棒。”
'So credit to him, I love seeing players at that level, I love seeing players with that personality and level of hunger to play and be the best, which he’s proven himself to be.
“所以我向他致意，我樂於看到球員達到這樣的水平，我喜歡看到球員有這樣的個性，有這樣的渴望去比賽，做到最好，他已經證明了自己。”
'In terms of having to deal with him, you need to have a plan and an idea. Players at that level can make something happen at any moment. I’m sure the players have a good awareness of him. You have to be at your best to try to negate the things he does.
“至於如何應對他，我們需要有計畫和想法。那種水平的球員可以在任何時候創造一些事情。我確信球員們都清楚知道他，我們必須盡最大的努力去阻擋他。”
'I think he’s special, I knew he’d adapt straight away, just through his level. I just think with the level of player and his record of scoring in Austria, for his country and in the Bundesliga, which is not an easy league, to come into a really good unit already, that’s a recipe to really help him. The rest is just credit to him and the team around him, I have a real respect for the player.'
“我認為他很特別，以他的能力，我知道他很快就能適應。我認為鑑於他的水平和在奧地利聯賽、國家隊和德甲聯賽的進球記錄，他也加入了一支非常出色的球隊，共同幫助了他，其餘的就是他自己和球隊的努力，我真的很尊敬這名球員。”
== Man City vs Chelsea injury list ==
Marcus Bettinelli missed our last match and could do so again, while Mateo Kovacic is a doubt after going off with an injury against Nottingham Forest. Armando Broja remains unavailable as he continues his rehabilitation from cruciate ligament damage.
貝蒂內利缺席了我們上一場比賽，他有可能再次缺席，而科瓦契奇在對陣諾丁漢森林的比賽中受傷下場，能否上場仍存疑。布羅亞仍然無法上場，他正在進行十字韌帶損傷的康復。
Manchester City have just one absentee, with former Chelsea defender Nathan Ake likely to miss the game with a thigh injury, although manager Pep Guardiola did give him a small chance of being fit in time to feature on Sunday.
曼城只有一名球員缺陣，前卻爾西後衛阿奇可能因大腿傷勢缺席本場比賽，儘管主教練瓜迪歐拉希望他能在週日的比賽中及時康復，但機率不高。
== Man City vs Chelsea suspension ==
There are no suspensions for either side in this match.
本場比賽雙方均沒有球員被禁賽。
As Chelsea have now surpassed 32 games in the Premier League this season, it is no longer possible for players to be suspended due to the number of accumulated yellow cards in 2022/23. However, bans will still be issued for players who are sent off in the competition.
目前卻爾西在本賽季的英超比賽已經超過了 32 場，2022/23 賽季球員將不會因為黃牌累積而被禁賽，但在比賽中被罰下的球員仍會被禁賽。
== Man City vs Chelsea referee and VAR ==
Referee: Michael Oliver
VAR: John Brooks

Every word Frank Lampard said on Man City vs Chelsea, Erling Haaland move and Badiashile injury
By Scott Trotter, Chelsea writer - 14:59, 19 MAY 2023
．Are Manchester City the greatest team?
"I don't know about the greatest, that's a hard debate but they are clearly a fantastic team and they have been for a long while now so huge credit to them for that consistency. For doing it year in year out on those levels they are coming very close to becoming the greatest team and obviously the cherry on the top would be to keep winning and win the Champions League etc etc. On the form they are in you wouldn't want to bet against them on anything
"Credit to the club - I worked there for a year and understand it quite well - the manager and the players because it is a really smooth, strong machine and I have full respect for them."
．Thought about a guard of honour?
"When it's done? I haven't but we could do. I remember getting that as a player and it was something that was very respectful so I would have no problem with that at all."
．Everton draw help your preparation for this game?
"A little bit but it is different players and a different situation here. City are in a different moment themselves so there are lots of contributing factors as to how we want to prepare for this."
．Learn a lot in the difficult moments, what have you learned upon your return?
"Some simple things more than detail. To compete in the Premier League you have to have big motivation, big training ethics, big standards at the club or it is very difficult. I kind of knew that anyway because I played here for a long time but unless you have those things the tactical detail and the edge will not matter because no game plan ever works without intensity. That has always been so in football and will do even more so as the game becomes faster."
．Could you compare Haaland's impact to a former Chelsea striker?
"I couldn't compare him to Didier because they are two different individuals in different moments at their clubs but of course as a Chelsea person Didier had that impact over a long period of time and Haaland has just started out. He has perhaps been more instant and that is a big credit to him, doing that coming straight into the Premier League - some people doubted that a little bit. He has proven that but Didier over a sustained period did huge things for this club. I don't think there is a direct comparison but they are both obviously great strikers."
．Mikel Arteta said Man City were arguably the best team in the world, are they good for English football?
"I don't think at this moment you can argue with that, I understand Mikel saying it. I think they are the best team in the world. Is it good for English football? Yeah, why not. You have to push the standards of the league and others have to react to that. We have this incredible brand here where the league improves year on year as far as I see the competitive nature of staying in the league, making the top four and Manchester City have set the standards. The rest of the league have to try to aspire to be that. It's not easy because they've done things very clinically in a really good way over a number of years. If we all take away our rivalry feelings, if you are a rival of Manchester City, you can't be anything but impressed by the nature of their game, how they play, especially watching them the other night. It was fantastica to watch. I don't think it's a bad thing at all."
．Barometer for Chelsea next season?
"I think it's hard to call them a direct barometer because when you say set standards, that's a casual look at it. Standards have to start at the beginning. For me standards are every player that is in that squad is pushing to get into the team, the players know that if they don't have intensity and don't run, the next man will come in and do it. That's something to be worked on in terms of recruitment and how you build a squad and how you build a mentality. If that's the barometer, there's a lot of work to do for us here to try and get to that."
．Returning to Chelsea – enjoyed it?
"I have enjoyed it. I get asked it a lot. You always want to get results but you have to be realistic in football. When I came into this, a Champions League dream that everyone talked to me about when I first come. 'It's been done before, can we do it again?' the realistic answer is we are where we are in the league for a reason. Our view at that point was to try and beat Madrid and then possible City to get to the final. That was a difficult one.
"The rest of the job is how many small wins can I try to impact behind the scenes. You can't always impact results. Generally there's a lot of work to do here. You can have little small impacts on individuals within the group because I have a big feeling for the club, when I walk away I want to be able to say I've done that. I enjoy coming to work trying to improve players and the ones that want to be improved and are good to work with, I think they will all have impressive careers here going forward."
．How much do you think what if?
"I don't know whether he would’ve decided to come here anyway, I was a big fan of that. There are some of those that happen that people don't know about or could have been this way. People talk about mistakes, whether he would have come I don't know but I was pushing big and on a few other players but he was the outstanding one."
．Did it get close?
"He will only know the answer to that."
．How much of an opportunity to catch Man City distracted?
"I don't think so. They look like a good team that are in a really good run of form and have got a lot of motivation and have shown it in their games. Who knows how the game pans out on the day but at the same time when you see them churning out these wins and performances with a really strong squad you have to expect the best version of Manchester City. So I expect the best version of ourselves in terms of our performance. Whether we win the game or whatever the players have to put in a performance to show respect for ourselves and pride in playing for Chelsea."
．Disrupt the title race?
"I'm not interested in that personally. The players shouldn't be either. They should worry about the responsibility of themselves going to play. That's the title race, it's a race between Man City and Arsenal, there's no eyes on it from that one."
．What stage did a move for Haaland get to?
"What stage did it get to? From our point, I was pushing it. I’m not sure what the appetite everywhere else at the club was to do it. The competition was big because he was an outstanding player. I think there was a buyout clause at the time that was relatively reasonable considering the player. I don’t have enough detail to know how close it was."
．Do you have a reaction to Mauricio Pochettino’s widely reported and expected appointment?
"Not if it’s not official, no."
．Have you spoken to him?
"No."
