Chelsea star explains why he likes to play with Frank Lampard

Chelsea winger Pedro called Frank Lampard "legendary" – and said the new boss was training his players to go to the Premier League with a "high intensity" match next season.

Lampard took charge of his first game as Chelsea boss on Wednesday night. His team was forced to a 1-1 draw by Bohemians in Dublin.

Michy Batshuayi's opening game in the first half was canceled by the stroke of judge Eric Molloy one minute from the end.

But despite the disappointing end of the meeting for Chelsea, Pedro says that there is enough to be optimistic for the winners of the Europa League.

He described the former Chelsea midfielder, Lampard, as "a very good coach with very good ideas".

The 31-year-old Spanish winger said: "We trained very hard with Frank this week.

"It's a very hard work, a high intensity.We press a lot without the ball, when we have the ball, we have to move it quickly and in transition (we have to be very good).

"It's great to work with Frank – he's a legend in this club – he's a very good coach with great ideas, but that's only five days from now." working with him and for the future, we have to prepare very well this month. "

Along with Pedro and Batshuayi, many other familiar faces have also been shown. Midfielders Danny Drinkwater and Tiemoue Bakayoko were also beaten. Lampard played two different XIs in each half.

Lampard then said: "It was a good run, we had good support and we thank the people who came in. It was a tough first game for us because we have not been back for a long time.

"We have only been back for a few days, so there was some pressure on the guys and we are working very hard on them and I am happy with the result.

"Fitness was our problem, but I wanted to stretch them a little and put them under pressure.

"That's what the pre-season is and the sooner we get there, the level we want, the better it will be – we wanted to win the match as you always do, but it's not about that. . "
