“That’s the fact” – Frank Lampard predicts where Chelsea will under Enzo Maresca
Chelsea has gotten off to a strong start this season. The Blues now sit fourth in the league, two points behind league leaders Liverpool.
Chelsea have won three league games in a row, the most recent being a 4-2 victory over Brighton.
Frank Lampard, a former Chelsea midfielder and manager, has been impressed by the team’s performances.
Frank Lampard believes Chelsea can finish in the top four.
“They’re young, that’s a fact, and with a young team it’s not always easy to have great consistency,” Lampard told TNT Sports Mexico.
“Maybe to win things [with young players], it’s not always easy. But it’s a strategy that Chelsea have taken.
“At the moment and the start of the season they’ve had now, it feels like they are going in the right direction. There is lots of young talent, especially in forward areas. There are lots of options to change in-game or change and stay fresh.
“After two or three years of being in a transition and a difficult time, change of ownership, change of managers, change of players and the squad… there’s a lot of new faces and players… it’s understandable that they haven’t competed.
“But I do feel now that they’re in a good position to challenge for top four again, to be where Chelsea expect to be.”
