Why Frank Lampard denies a close relationship with Roman Abramovich after Chelsea sanctions
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich was sanctioned on Thursday by the UK government following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
However, Chelsea legend Frank Lampard has claimed he didn’t enjoy a personal connection with Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich.
Frank Lampard said: “One of the questions earlier said I was close to Roman Abramovich. I could count on the fingers of one hand how many times I’ve seen him in the last many years.”
“I worked for Chelsea Football Club for 13 years and it was an absolute pleasure, and that’s exactly where I want to leave that one.
“I care about the fans; the fans of Chelsea that were there before us and will be there after us. It is a tough moment for the club.”
