Before the match against Brighton, all of Frank Lampard's remarks
Frank Lampard is known for making the most use of the available domestic talent when he previously chose the Chelsea club for the 2019–2021 season.
It was clear that he had faith in the club's academy, which he had experienced firsthand when playing and had later used to attract players while managing Derby County. He was also excited to talk about it right now.
Lampard has mentioned our youth system again at Stamford Bridge and Cobham now that the club is under new ownership. When it comes to high-level kids being developed or even included in the squad, he does not anticipate the water being shut off.
He asserts that "I think there is an appreciation of what the Academy gives, from fans who always relate to young players, and ownerships that like the fact that you are developing players who are either huge assets for you or who are also assets that are also assets that you can receive good fees for if they move on."
Seeing players like Mason Mount, Reece James, Conor Gallagher, Trevoh Chalobah, and those who are still around makes me happy because it was my intention as a coach to try to develop as many players as I could. They have always had a real connection to the club because they went through the Academy.
The decision to let certain younger players leave was not mine. Lampard is also. Tammy Abraham and Fikayo Tomori, for instance, were decisions made at the time by the club, and that is what transpired.
One of the best academies in the Premier League and the entire globe is currently housed at this club and has been for a very long time. Neil Bath alone is responsible for that.
"I had a really good group of players during my time at the club who emerged at the right time and had an immediate impact on the squad." First and first, you need a player of that calibre. Although they are rare, when they do, there is no doubt that this club will still cherish them and that they will be given the opportunity when they deserve it. That is how it should work.
Of all the players to break through at Chelsea under Lampard, Mason Mount was undoubtedly one of the most notable. The difficulty of the season has not been helped by a pelvic problem that has recently afflicted our two-time Player of the Year. The 24-year-old was able to play again after missing seven games when he entered the game in Madrid and had a late shot blocked. Concerns about Mount's enduring effect were addressed by Lampard.
He declared, "I am not going to tell anyone what opinion they should have on football. If someone thinks Mason Mount is not already a top-level player." I'm not going to tell anyone what they are seeing, he continued.
According to Graham Potter, "Form is one thing that people can debate; players are getting debated more now than they ever were in my career, thanks to social media. But from working with Mason, and you can ask me, you can ask Thomas Tuchel, you can ask Gareth Southgate, you can ask Graham Potter, he is clearly a top player."
"I've come back, and he has his little injury problem, but he felt well in the last game, and he did the best he could, continuing with Conor to help us finish the game with 10 men.
Over the course of the next game or two, we may need to put in a little extra effort to get Mason where we really want him to be. He is an outstanding young man and a fantastic player, and he has a strong bond with the team. Hope the wound heals quickly.
I answered, "He has had that since the first day I brought him to Derby. A top player should have a genuine desire to achieve. He is already a great talent, despite the fact that he is still a young athlete with opportunity to develop.
