“The signings we made in the summer, in addition to probably Thiago (Silva), were signings for now and for the future, players who are going to progress and who are going to mature and, of course, I would love to be part of that.
“Of course, that is the decision of the club and above all the decision of the owner, so I have to move forward with the short term that starts with Leeds. But I don’t think anyone would expect me to say anything else. I am a lucky man to run the club that I love and that is my life. So of course I want to be successful and be here as long as possible. “
Lampard’s former Chelsea teammate Branislav Ivanovic this week endorsed the former midfielder to one day lead England. “It’s certainly nothing that’s on my radar in the short term,” Lampard said. “I am very patriotic, I loved playing for my country but, at the moment, I am focused on trying to do my best here in the long term. If there was ever an opportunity, later in the future, it is something I would certainly consider, but you should never go too far in this job. “
Lampard will face Leeds and Marcelo Bielsa for the first time since their Derby County team eliminated them from the play-offs in 2019, the same season that Leeds was suspended for spying on Lampard’s training.
But Lampard insists that the historic rivalry between Chelsea and Leeds is not a personal one between him and Bielsea, and he has no problem with the fact that Leeds players and fans celebrated their promotion to the Premier League by singing ‘Stop Crying Frank Lampard’ .
