He said: "I have two years left in my contract here and I do not see any more than Monday.

"I'm going to sit down with Mel after the match, which was planned before all this discussion anyway, to see first Monday's result, because that will define the way we discuss.

"It's as simple as that, I find it very difficult because they (Chelsea) have an upcoming match – and more importantly for me, we have a match coming before that.

"And they also have a manager in Sarri trying to get them to win this final.

"It's an obvious link in the whole season, if I say it may be because of our situation – in the final – and we're talking to each other and I'm bound because of my 13 years at the club, so I understand the link.

"But in terms of how I see things, I do not want to think about it, I do not want to talk about it, I want to talk about Monday, I want to work with the team and finish with that. " the line for us. "

Derby won 4-2 overall in the semifinal against Leeds. The team was caught spying on a Rams training session earlier in the season.

Lampard and his team partied in the field and in the locker room, with the manager paying a £ 2,800 bill.

But the 40-year-old insisted that his players refocus.

"I do not remember having so much determination to win a match, that's why the match overflowed in the end," he said.

"We had to get back to the ground, we're calm and ready to play, because beating Leeds in the semifinals might have seemed great, but this one is the one that really means something."
