In the hard with Chelsea before facing Morecambe in the FA Cup this Sunday, Frank Lampard spoke about his precarious situation at a press conference.
Chelsea can’t do it anymore. For more than a month, the Londoners have signed only one and meager victory in their last seven outings, in all competitions (3-0, against West Ham on December 21, 2020). What greatly weaken the coach of the Blues. Frank Lampard knows that his fate is no longer important and already feels the breath of the contenders for his succession behind his back. Thomas Tuchel among others.
This Sunday, Chelsea welcomes the very modest team of Morecambe, resident of League Two (4th English division), as part of the third round of the FA Cup (2:30 pm). An obstacle a priori largely within the reach of the London formation which will however have to be wary, it which now has all the trouble in the world to win. Aware of his wobbly position on the London bench, Frank Lampard confided in a press conference this Saturday: “All I want is to stay focused on my work, even if I cannot control everything”.
Tuchel and the suitors
After a somewhat sluggish start to the season, Chelsea then lined up fourteen games without defeat, until this stoppage in early December. Four defeats in his last six Premier League games and a ninth place in the standings, not sure President Roman Abramovich still leaves him much time to react. The names of Ralph Hassenhuttl, Julian Nagelsmann and Thomas Tuchel are regularly cited to take over.
If Chelsea should win this Sunday, the most important match for Frank Lampard will certainly be that of Friday January 15, on the lawn of Fulham (19th day of PL). The young coach will not have the right to make mistakes and may play his future there.
