The Frank Lampard is now thrown to Chelsea, the Blues legend preparing for his second game at the head of today's day (Saturday).

Chelsea is currently in Ireland as part of her pre-season preparations. The Blues will play their second friendly game of the summer by facing St. Patrick's Athletic this afternoon.

There will probably be several changes in the game. Lampard wants to watch as many members of his team as possible and help his players get in shape before the new season.

But while Chelsea is currently in Ireland, there is still a lot of news around the Blues. We review the latest news below.

Great luck for marginal players

Frank Lampard's first match as head coach of the club ended in a 1-1 draw against the Bohemians on Wednesday night, but it was a mixed-team composed of young and young lanes.

This afternoon (Saturday), Chelsea will play the second game of his pre-season schedule, with St. Patrick's Athletic, the opponent of Lampard's Blues.

We expect changes to be made to the game in the middle of the week and players arriving in Dublin Monday, most of whom are experienced players, will have a few minutes under their belt for the first time this summer. .

This means that marginal players will fight to be part of the Lampard group for the 2019/20 campaign, including some members of the club's "Loan Army" last season, such as Michy Batshuayi, Kurt Zouma , Kenedy and Tiemoue Bakayoko.

It was not only the players who were on loan last season who have a point to prove, some men being more and more competitive for their place in the team after the return of some of them.

But who else is likely to be touched? Oliver Harbord has taken a look at the ten players who are on the sidelines of the group and who will face several weeks.

The big goal of Mateo Kovacic

He is one of the big Chelsea contract this summer, after turning his loan agreement with Real Madrid into a permanent move.

And Mateo Kovacic is determined to show more during his second season in West London. The Croatian said that he was eager to learn how to score goals from Frank Lampard, the Chelsea boss, this season.

Kovacic did not participate in more than 100 games for the club and the country, showing a real lack of potential against the goal while he had his chances on loan with the Blues.

The Blues legend is the club's scorer after a stellar career at Stamford Bridge, and Kovacic hopes to learn to be more ruthless in front of goal.

"I look forward to working with him a lot," he said. "He was a fantastic player and he showed last season that he's also a good coach, I can not wait to learn how to score because of him because he scored a lot and I do not have so much of success last season!

"I may not be exactly the same type of midfielder as he was, but he had great abilities, especially scoring goals." He was a hard worker, so I was not sure what he was doing. I can not wait to be better at this aspect, to work hard, to beat the field and score goals. "

Chelsea warns Liverpool

Frank Lampard and Chelsea have a tough job to do to try to narrow the gap between Liverpool and Manchester City next season.

That's what the former West Ham and England defenseman Stuart Pearce, who advised Liverpool to do even better and win the Premier League, thinks.

He thinks the Reds, who have finished with a point over City but with 25 points ahead of Chelsea, will be stronger for the experience of last season, with Pearce cautioning Chelsea and his London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham over the winners of the Champions League. .

"They lost some players in [Alberto] Moreno and [Daniel] Sturridge, who left, but it will not hurt them at all. "
