Winners and losers from Lampard’s return to Chelsea

Date:

Frank Lampard was confirmed on Thursday as Chelsea’s new interim manager until the end of this season. The one who was the ‘blue’ coach from the summer of 2019 to January 2019 will lead Chelsea into a new phase and his arrival leaves predictable winners and losers in the squad. Let’s go to them.

Mr.

Mason Mount

win

Lampard’s great protégé. He even had it at Derby County, before returning hand in hand to Chelsea. He has not played recently as his renewal is not closed, but Lampard will be pressed to dispose of him.

Aubameyang could leave Chelsea in the summer

Mr.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

win

It’s hard to be worse than Graham Potter. The strange thing as seen in the barça dressing room did not go down well in the Stamford Bridge offices, but Lampard’s arrival is also good news for him.

In the previous phase of Lampard’s leadership, he was not a starter. The English coach prefers Edouard Mendy. Will this happen again despite the good form that the Spaniard is currently going through?

Horizontally

Mr.

Ben Chilwell

win

Potter was betting on a 3-4-3 and that didn’t help him. With Lampard, he will likely revert to a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1, two systems that are more suited to a full-back like Chilwell.

Unless Lampard prefers the Spaniard to Chilwell in a four-man defence, he loses. His case was diametrically opposed to the English. He plays better with three center backs than a defense of four.

Edouard Mendy regrets his mistake

Mr.

Edward Mendy

The situation is the opposite in Kepa. Lampard likes him, so unless the Englishman changes his mind, he promises to be his goalkeeper.

Mr.

Hakim Ziyech

win

The Moroccan arrived at Chelsea at the hands of Lampard, and his return promises to give him a boost after playing a secondary role. Playing up front is expensive for the ‘blues’, but Ziyech a priori is better with Lampard than Potter.

Kalidou Koulibaly

Mrs

His performance was not very convincing and, moreover, the return of Thiago Silva was imminent. The Brazilian was a fixture in Lampard’s previous tenure, who will also play with two rather than three central defenders, so Koulibaly could be heavily affected.
