Chelsea’s match-winner in their Saturday’s 1-0 victory against Fulham expresses about sticking together as a team to propel up the Premier League ladder.
The English midfielder opened up on how immense the night was for him and his team to win the match and keep the positive momentum going. He said that the main quality of the team was to maintain the right attitude and determination until the very end.
Although the game against Fulham was one-sided as Chelsea dominated after Fulham went to 10-men, the Blues were not prolific before the goal to bury the chances.
Lampard had to wait until the 78th minute when a low strike from the young midfielder earned three points for the team. Mount said that the coach has demanded more goals from him and he is looking forward to doing the same as well.
‘It’s a footballer’s life,’ he said of the online narrative around his place in the team to the Official Chelsea Website. ‘You’re always going to have people that doubt you but I’m not one to look too much into it.
‘I’m just focused on performing on the pitch and playing as much as I can. The most important people, I just try to make them proud. I let my football do the talking, and scoring goals and putting in performances will do that.’
‘We went through a tough period but the most important thing is to show that character you need to get out of it when you’re down,’ he continued. ‘That comes first and foremost from the gaffer. We do it for him.’
Many doubted the academy graduate but it is Mason Mount who is just behind the Frenchman, N’Golo Kante to play the most number of games for Chelse this season.
Speaking about criticism, Mount said that it is a part of footballers’ life and he can only reply to the criticisms by playing fantastically in the games.
‘We’ve been very together the last couple of weeks and hopefully, this is the turning point. Now we move on to Tuesday [against Leicester City] and attack that with the same mentality.
‘It’s going to be a tough game – we know how good they are but we played well there last season and got a good result so hopefully we can do that again,’ he added.
Chelsea has returned to winning ways and Mount wants this to continue despite being aware of the tough challenge they will experience in Kings Power Stadium.
