Abraham spoke to Chelsea’s official website about his goals and praised Lampard for his support towards the club’s younger players. The 21-year-old said:
“It’s always nice to have that support behind you, especially how he [Lampard] supports the young lads. He gives us confidence. When a coach believes in you, you just want to do your best and give 100 per cent.”
Given the opportunities he has provided to the likes of Abraham and Mason Mount, there is no doubt that Chelsea’s youngsters have Lampard’s full support.
