FRANK LAMPARD will do what he wants in Chelsea – without the advice of his former officials.
Since the creation of his dream job, Guus Hiddink sent a text less than three weeks ago, but no long conversation with Jose Mourinho or Carlo Ancelotti.

It has been banned from transfer only Stamford Bridge, which Lampard faces while his rivals spend a lot.
And no manager has seen first-hand the changes in Chelsea and Manchester City that have changed the face of the Premier League.
Lampard's new Chelsea side suffered its first setback on Friday with a humiliating 1-0 loss to Kawasaki Frontale.
They are all managers I respect. But I try to learn via myself, through daily work with the players. If I ever felt the need to reach out, I would, but we must all find our own way.
Lampard said, "I do not pick up the phone, because if I called Carlo Ancelotti to ask him about a situation, it could be so different from what he was facing.
"So I'm not looking for that much.
"Do not get me wrong, I got SMS with Jose and I have good relations with Carlo.
"Guus Hiddink sent me a message this week that was very nice. They are all managers I respect.
"But I try to learn for myself, via daily work with the players.
"If I ever felt the need to reach out, I would do it but we all have to find our own way."
Lampard is on the 68th floor of the Landmark Tower in Yokohama. You can admire Tokyo and Mount Fuji.
For Lampard, the vision of the Premier League landscape is different from where it was part of Roman Abramovich's revolution 16 years ago, when the owner of Chelsea decided to bring the best players into the club.
The FIFA transfer ban means that Lamps will be relying on young people who will come out to support a team without Eden Hazard – a huge change from 2003.

Lampard said, "It annoyed everyone because no one was willing to do it.
"We now know that the standards are so high, whether it's City, Liverpool, Chelsea or Tottenham, that all these teams are pushing in. It's a lot more competitive now.
"Every day, I read about City, United will buy, all these teams will do business. And that will obviously strengthen them.
"So you have to be realistic about that. But when I work with the players and I see every day the quality that we have here, I think we have a very competitive team.
"Can we win the championship? It will be a big demand, but we have to leave with this state of mind. "
Lampard was a whirlwind to join the club that he loves and go straight on tour – he has only returned to Cobham headquarters twice in his new role.
"As a player, you really tried to do very little maintenance and this corridor to the manager's office is a place where you have not ventured much, but that's where I'll be," he said. declared.

His new office is different because he has crossed the hall since he stopped playing – but the winner mentality has remained the same.
Lampard admits that Mourinho changed his way of thinking as a player, helping him to win the Champions League and three Premier League titles.
Then, during his brief stint in City, he saw another team trying to shake the Premier League with big expenses and a thirst for glory.
"There is a correlation between what Chelsea did in 2003-2004 and what City did," he said. "They came in, they changed the landscape, they had ways to do it slightly different, that's normal.
"But what I saw was two clubs unlike their differences, who were so eager to win, change and set really high standards.
"The basics behind the scenes were similar.

"I had absolutely what I felt at Chelsea in previous years, that it was a club full of backstage people who had lived there for years and hard times, and who had a new impetus a high level team. Basically, I saw that and you can see it by leaving Guardiola.
"In particular, we have seen a level of performance that rivals all generations, all times of football.
Lamps estimates that his year in City has "certainly helped him" to bring Chelsea back just one year into his managerial career.
He did not consider becoming a director until the age of 30, at the time of the brief reign of Luiz Felipe Scolari.
And there is a change of mentality now. As a player, he earned personal honors as Chelsea's top scorer with 211 goals as the team won trophies.
These extra sprint and shooting sessions after the training have paid off.
Now he thinks of his entire team rather than the personal impact on his team.
He said: "You can not love all managers and all players, but you have to work together.
"When you are an individual player, you are relatively selfish most of the time, you care about yourself every day, your form and your form.
"When you get older a bit, you realize that you have to be much more selfless and take responsibility for each one. I guess those moments with the managers come back to you.
