Chelsea FC boss Frank Lampard has insisted that his side’s season should not be reviewed on whether the Blues manage to qualify for the Champions League. The West London based club are on course to secure a third-place finish in the Premier League. However, with the league table looking very uncertain, there could be a possibility of Chelsea FC finishing outside the top four.
Lampard did admit to the importance of qualifying for the Champions League as a priority for the Blues. However, the Chelsea FC boss also stated that regardless of a top-four finish, the Blues had performed well this season. He added that there were plenty of huge positives that could be taken by Chelsea FC’s overall performance this season.
Lampard’s side were not seen as the favorites to qualify for the Champions League earlier this season. With the departure of long-term talisman Eden Hazard and a largely inexperienced squad at Lampard’s disposal, Chelsea FC faced an uncertain 2019-20 campaign. However, the Blues have exceeded expectations with their run of form in the Premier League this year.
Moreover, Lampard’s side have even succeeded in booking a FA Cup final clash against city rivals Arsenal. This means that the Blues could cap off a great season under their new manager with a trophy.
The Chelsea FC boss expressed his delight at the progress his side has made throughout the course of the season. According to Lampard, the youthful Blues’ first-team squad has made impressive strides during the 2019-20 Premier League campaign.
Chelsea FC are being considered a major force to reckon with come next season. With the arrivals of Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech, Lampard has added significant attacking firepower to his side. Moreover, a transfer approach for 21-year old German Kai Havertz is expected to be finalized in the coming days.
With further signings to be made by the Blues manager this summer, Chelsea FC would surely start next season as one of the bookmaker’s favorites to clinch the Premier League title.
