Chelsea do not require new players to be successful: Frank Lampard

Chelsea legend Frank Lampard said on Tuesday he won’t be looking backwards as he takes on possibly the biggest challenge of his career: managing his former team.

Speaking in Japan where the Blues are playing two friendlies, Lampard said he was “very happy” with his squad but expects to work the team hard during the pre-season.

“For me the story is not to look backwards,” said Lampard, whose return to his former club as head coach was confirmed earlier this month.
