So far Chelsea have recruited two new players in the 2020 summer transfer market. They are Hakim ZIyech and Timo Werner. The recruitment of the two players also made Chelsea coach Frank Lampard feel happy.
Lampard has the belief that Ziyech and Werner will be able to make Chelsea a better team. Because, even though they are still relatively young, Ziyech and Werner already have a lot of valuable experience in the world of football.
Therefore, Lampard views Ziyech and Werner as the right recruits. Because in addition to having experience, the two players are also the Blues’ investment for the long term in building the team.
Actually, Lampard has only handled Chelsea for one season. However, he was able to lead the Blues to finish in the top four of the Premier League standings in their inaugural season. This certainly deserves appreciation.
However, Lampard was reluctant to be satisfied. He demanded his team to achieve even better results. Therefore, he hopes that the presence of Ziyech and Werner can help him make this happen.
“When you talk about long-term success, you need an experienced voice. My thoughts on next season are, can we improve? ” explained Lampard, adapting from the Daily Star, Friday (21/8/2020).
“The younger players have more experience. Expectations on them will be more, and they must react to that. The players we recruit have to level up the group. We shouldn’t be satisfied where we are. I always want more, “he continued.
“Let’s work every day to improve. We have to work to close the gaps above us. We have to find consistency. And we have to believe. I will continue to work for it and hope the fans can see it, “said Lampard.
Although Ziyech and Werner have already signed, Chelsea’s shopping activities are still not over. Currently, the Blues are being linked with Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Kai Havertz.
In addition, Chelsea also plans to strengthen their defense. A new goalkeeper and center-back is planned for Chelsea. For the position of goalkeeper, Chelsea is said to be recruiting Jan Oblak. As for the center-back is Thiago Silva.
