Frank Lampard on Chelsea s transfer ban I don t need new players

For me, the story is not to look backwards. I know the club very well, I know the players very well. I have my own way that I want to work with the players. And I have to say, in one week that we've been training, I've been very happy with the attitude, with the qualities of the players. So my job now is to work hard in pre-season with them. I like my teams to play with a lot of energy, a lot of speed. With and without the ball. So if we lose the ball, I want to win it back as quickly as we can. And when we have the ball, I want to move the ball quickly and create chances to win games and to fill up with playing football that we enjoy. So that's my job now. I think I've inherited very good players. We can't bring any players in. We know that this year. But I don't need new players. I'm very happy with the squad and determined for us to be successful. It's amazing, obviously, to have such a club legend as your coach. But it's also quite tough because the trainings are quite intense. But obviously me and the players, we're enjoying it because the trainings are intense, but a lot of ball and exactly what we like. So it's nice and we're looking forward to learn a lot from him and to make him proud, of course, to be a good squad and to do a great season. I think everybody knows that I have a keen eye for the younger players and the academy that the academy has produced, and we now have a batch of them fighting to get into the first team. But to be absolutely clear, they now have to make the difference. It's a road, a pathway that's given to them, and now they have to be the ones that play well enough to get into the team. I don't care about age. I just care about performance and how people train and how they play. So now it's up to those young players to show what they can do.
