Frank Lampard: I'd like to play more fluid football.
Frank Lampard has responded to continuous criticism from the outside that he is positioning Chelsea's team too defensively.
Our interim manager acknowledges that selecting a team that will play aggressively and pursue football that is both competitive and visually appealing requires a chief to make decisions that are unquestionably more complicated than that. Although he acknowledges that is the ultimate goal, he also notes that various game elements are equally important.

Lampard explained, "Coming in here, I think the frameworks have changed significantly and that hasn't brought a response." ‘There isn't, in my opinion, a right or wrong answer.
"For Genuine Madrid, I received criticism before the game for being overly protective, but in my opinion, that was the greatest way to prepare for that match. We might have been up 1-0 or 2-0 after an hour, and after that, the game and the tie seemed unusual.
In response to Brentford's last break, Lampard modified his strategy and chose three central defenders, allowing Cesar Azpilicueta and Ben Chilwell to play as wingbacks and provide width.
When the 44-year-old spoke to columnists ahead of the trip to Arsenal this evening, he was adamant that he should reconsider, taking the opposition and the anticipated idea of the challenge into account.
"Brentford was different. Sometimes, directors need to pause and consider this. Given our current situation, there are a few things we need to look into and we conclude that since things didn't go as planned, we can't be as liquid as we had hoped to be. We travelled to the Wolves with a 4-3-3 lineup, but we lost. There are rarely direct answers after the incidents,' he added.
"Would I like to stream more football for free?" Indeed. When I first started working here, some people might have thought we occasionally free-streamed too much. We had one of the highest xG totals in the league and one of the lowest xG against, but we were giving up more goals than we should have when I looked at the hidden strategy of how we were playing during my most memorable season here. There are numerous causes occasionally.
"I need to find consistency in our work right now, but it has been difficult over the course of five games," I said. In some instances, you are piecing the puzzle together.
