BEING FRANK
Frank Lampard wishes his Chelsea team a lot this season to avoid being fired, Said Tony Cascarino.
Speaking on talkSport, the former Blues player said: “Frank will be fully aware that him getting that investment means there’s a different challenge now.
“He will know that the wait will only be to qualify for the Champions League.
“It’s last summer’s wait, and if they succeeded with a movement embargo, it’s an advantage.”
Before adding: “Put more tension and Frank will know, but if he doesn’t meet his expectations and goals, he may not be Chelsea’s coach next year.”
HUD ENOUGH?
Tammy Abraham trolled Callum Hudson-Odoi for his “help” Brighton.
After the ball hit the area, the striker mismanded his head and the ball crashed into the appearance of his face.
He fell in the wake of Werner, who spent his effort in front of Mat Ryan.
After the game, Abraham left a bray comment on his Instagram post.
WAIT AND ZIY
Frank Lampard posted an update on Hakim Ziyech following the club’s 1-1 draw at Brighton on Amex.
Chelsea wrote that: “After the game, Lampard called it a small twist on the knee that will have to be evaluated.”
Chelsea will face Brighton in the same place on Monday 14 September when his Premier League crusade begins and Lampard hopes the Moroccan will be worthy of that.
AUBA AND IN
Mikel Arteta who thought Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had been “convinced to stay” with Arsenal.
He then added: “My task is to verify to convince him that he is in the right position at the right time,” Arteta told BBC Radio Five Live.
“I think they gave us that and then we have to do the documents and it takes a little time.”
GOOD MORNING CHELSEA FANS
Blues enthusiasts were excited to see Timo Werner purposely hit next season.
The 48 million-pound signing took less than 4 minutes to score on his debut in Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Brighton.
New boy Hakim Ziyech also showed his quality by betting a very good pass to score the goal.
But he ended on a bitter note when the midfielder lied with a knee injury in the middle of the moment.
Chelsea’s doctor didn’t take any chances as physiotherapists were helping Ziyech when he left the Amex field.
Later, Lampard told Chelsea that Ziyech had suffered “a little twist on the knee that will want to be evaluated.”
Meanwhile, Chelsea can still make three more signings this summer despite their huge spending.
West Ham midfielder Declan Rice remains a key target for Frank Lampard with Kai Havertz.
And the coach is still a new goalkeeper with Andre Onana as an option.
But the newcomers will also mean departures and Tammy Abraham can be sacrificed with aston Villa interested.
GIAN-BLEU-IGI
Chelsea seek a resolution from AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma to update Kepa Arrizabalaga’s failure, according to reports.
Frank Lampard is desperate to upgrade the goalkeeper of 71.6 million pounds after a terrible 2019-20.
And reports say the Blues are expected to continue their sensational spending by the Italian worth forty-five million pounds after contacting Agent Mino Raiola.
Chelsea has already seen Dean Henderson, Andre Onana, Jan Oblak and Edouard Mendy.
Henderson signed a new five-year contract with Manchester United, while the Onana and Oblak deals were unsuccessful.
TAM TO MOVE?
Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham is wanted through Aston Villa as he faces a big fight for his long career in west London.
The Blues signed Timo Werner this summer after the Bundesliga to RB Leipzig.
And Frank Lampard is about to bring in exciting German Kai Havertz from Bayer Leverkusen for 90 million pounds.
Having also signed Hakim Ziyech from Ajax, Lampard could adopt a new dynamic for his front next season.
And Olivier Giroud signed a new contract with the club at the end of last season and ended Abraham’s favorite campaign.
THREE PER CROWD
Chelsea can still make THREE more signings this summer despite their huge spending.
The Blues have already bought this window from Ben Chilwell (50 million pounds), Timo Werner (48 million pounds) and Hakim Ziyech (36 million pounds).
Kai Havertz is the first target, Bayer Leverkusen’s million-pound star expected to be shown at Stamford Bridge shortly.
Declan Rice of West Ham is also in the process, while Lampard is still behind a goalkeeper.
HAK’DE DOWN
Chelsea coach Frank Lampard said Hakim Ziyech’s injury would require an evaluation.
Ziyech at the time is part of Chelsea’s pre-season friendly in Brighton.
It’s like a knee challenge for the former Ajax player.
The club’s online page said it was “a little knee turn that will be examined.”
TIM TO SHINE
Timo Werner said it the first of many goals, hopefully.
The German played his first match since arriving from RB Leipzig.
Brighton enthusiasts were allowed to enter Amex to watch Chelsea’s 1-1 draw with the Seagulls in the preseason.
PLAYER RATINGS
SunSport distributed our notes to Chelsea in today’s game.
Timo Werner inspired with a first purpose and won 8/10.
Callum Hudson-Odoi also won an 8, which went on strike and laborious everywhere.
However, Spanish left-back Marcos Alonso left behind a lot to be desired after getting an advance booking in a friendly and his careless game gave him a 4/10.
Blues enthusiasts will be desperate to see new recruit Ben Chilwell in the box as soon as possible.
ALL SQUARE
Chelsea drew 1–1 with Brighton in Amex.
The pre-season friendly ended at the point after a penalty overdue changed through Pascal Gross.
New recruit Timo Werner scored his first Blues goal in the 4-minute start of the game.
But his new ace, Hakim Ziyech, has been busy making Frank Lampard and Chelsea enthusiasts sweat before the new season.
WHAT ZIYECH?
Hakim Ziyech has left Chelsea’s friendly with Brighton just two weeks before the start of the Premier League season.
The Moroccan makes his first outing under a Blues shirt after his replacement for Ajax.
But he finished prematurely, as just ten minutes after the middle of the moment, Frank Lampard forced the 27-year-old to withdraw.
After appearing to have injured his ankle, Chelsea’s doctor did not take any chances, as physiotherapists helped former Ajax star to liquefy the field at Amex.
He replaced academy star Conor Gallagher.
GERMAN EFFICIENCY
Timo Werner wasted no time on the field after needing less than 4 minutes to open his Chelsea account.
The million-pound summer signing is attributed to a flyer after teaming up with his newcomer, Hakim Ziyech, to score in his pre-season clash with Brighton.
Boss Frank Lampard announced an initial lineup that also included N’Golo Kante and Callum Hudson-Odoi.
But it appears Werner has already stolen the show by scoring with just his second touch of the ball.
A ziyech pass discovered Hudson-Odoi in the area that directed him to Werner Road.
The 24-year-old purpose device didn’t want a momentary presentation before burying his luck with a little luck in the back corner.
Champions!
Chelsea FC Women the Community Shield.
The celebrations are underway following the 2-0 win over Manchester City.
DON’T MISS OUT
Fans return to elite English football this afternoon when Brighton faces Chelsea in a friendly.
No more than 2500 people will be allowed to enter the Amex as the government tests the return of party enthusiasts before an official update of the restrictions in October.
Today’s surprise is expected to begin at 3 p.m.
Unfortunately, Brighton vs Chelsea is broadcast live on British television.
But log in to the game’s sunSport LIVE blog to stay up-to-date with ALL actions.
BONITO PETIT WERNER
Timo Werner is very pleased to, however, wear the Blues jersey in today’s clash against Brighton.
Speaking before kick-off, he said: “I’m very pleased that the league starts in two weeks and I’m very happy with myself in the Premier League.
“I can’t wait for the friendly guy against Brighton either, so he’ll nevertheless come out in the blue shirt.”
THREE’S A CROWD
Chelsea can still make THREE more signings this summer despite their huge spending.
The Blues have already bought this window from Ben Chilwell (50 million pounds), Timo Werner (48 million pounds) and Hakim Ziyech (36 million pounds).
The Thiago Silva and Malang Sarr power plants arrived in loose transfers.
Although he has already overcompensated last summer’s movement ban, Frank Lampard hopes to attract THREE new faces.
Kai Havertz is the first target, Bayer Leverkusen’s million-pound star expected to be shown at Stamford Bridge shortly.
Shake
The Chelsea children’s mascot who hilariously rejected Steven Gerrard’s handshake about 15 years ago has been signed by Jamie O’Hara’s Billericay Town.
And now Jake Nickless hopes to make his own progress in the game; has a long way to go to emulate his “victim” Gerrard.
That was in 2006 before Chelsea’s home game against Liverpool, where Nickless made headlines around the world.
Gerrard, captain of his beloved Liverpool, and kindly approached to shake Nickless’s hand, after five, after the cheeky boy shouted his name.
But Nickless, with his hair dyed blue for Londoners, then got rid of his hand dramatically avoiding the English legend.
I’ll do it sometime.
Mikel Arteta has been inspired by Willian’s winning mentality since arriving at Arsenal from Chelsea.
Before the clash against Liverpool, the Gunners manager said: “I am positive players and eager to win for our club.
“That’s the feeling I felt from the first day I met Willian.
“He is not satisfied with what he has done in his career, which is a lot, and will bring special qualities to our team.
BLUES CRUISE
This is how the start of the season is for Chelsea…
INTER HIM
N’Golo Kante is the most sensible on Inter Milan’s wish list of movements, according to the Gazzetta dello Sport.
Antonio Conte hopes to return to the midfielder in Italy this summer.
The Italian has removed Kante from Leicester’s Premier League victory in 2016.
And now in charge of Inter Milan, it is assured that Conte has rekindled the interest of signing him.
GOOEY RICE
Frank Lampard is reportedly making plans to sell N’Golo Kante to finance his move to Declan Rice.
The club told the manager that he had some players before signing West Ham midfielder.
Football Insider claims that Lampard has known the Frenchman as one of the players who is in a position to unload.
He even reportedly told Kante he would lose to leave the club this summer.
BEING FRANK
Chelsea have already beaten Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech, Ben Chilwell, Thiago Silva, Malang Sarr and Xavier Mbuyamba.
SunSport has exclusively revealed that Frank Lampard is also a move for Declan Rice.
After its spending frenzy, this symbol turned …

”VERY EXCITED”
Timo Werner admitted he’s “eager” to make his Chelsea debut.
In the face of the pre-season friendly against Brighton, he told the club’s website: “I’m very excited. I can’t wait.”
“I was only educated for a while when I first signed, but I’ve been running with the whole team for about a week and it’s been great.
“It was at first [when I arrived] because you just need to paint hard, meet the whole team and get straight to the purpose on the education floor, but I had to be patient.
