Chelsea News: Frank Lampard presents ambitious plans for his first manager

Frank Lampard is aware that he has a huge task to badume as a Chelsea manager, but he insists that his team will aim to win the Premier League title this season.

The legend of the Blues supports a high-flying team for the first time after only a year at Derby, which gives him his management experience.

It's a delicate situation that Lampard takes over, with Chelsea under a transfer ban, which means that he has to work with the team that was left to him by Maurizio Sarri, less Eden Hazard , gone to Real Madrid.

Despite what is wrong in his favor, the 41-year-old does not dilute his ambition and thinks he has the quality to compensate for the 26 points that separated the Blues and Man City champions last season.

"The only way I know to reduce this gap is to work tirelessly and focus," said Lampard. "These basics do not change, and with the transfer ban, it's even clearer because we can not bring in players.

"Every day, I read that City buys and Manchester United buys it. All these teams will do business and that will strengthen them.

"So you have to be realistic, but I see every day the quality that we have here. And I think of the players who are not here like Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Willian, Antonio Rudiger and Reece James, and I think we have a competitive team. I believe in them and there are more because we have a lot of young players.

"There can be an uprising. I do not say that I am going to make a difference. It will be the players who will make the difference.

"The challenge is there. Now, can we win the league? It will be a big request. But we must leave with this state of mind. "

The former English international believes that the basics of management are the same, whether in Derby or Chelsea, as he works with inexperienced youth or World Cup winners.

"I already felt the size of the club and the differences in the field, for players with 70 caps and cap. Pedro has won several titles. But the basics are the same, "continued Lampard.

'In the field, I will ask one thing and that's absolutely what I want to do. I do not think you can compromise on this. "
