“In the three games that Edouard Mendy has played since he’s been here, he plays really well.
“He did a smart prevention today and they’re two white sheets. When he arrived, I said it would be perfect for the competition, we knew his qualities and he proved them, so right now it’s the first choice, but that’s at stake and that’s why you have competition.

“We felt, or indeed felt, that it was a no-brainer to have Pete on the team for that reason.
“And it also helps me to train each and every day; when it’s in such a smart way, it can only help goalkeepers, we have to see one of the most productive in the world in recent years, in the age of fashion. “, between us. “

CECH MATE
Frank Lampard has described his resolve to appoint Petr Cech to his Premier League team as “obvious,” given the Covid crisis.
He told Chelsea’s website: “We had a position on the team, we know this year is unlike any other because of Covid and what he can do for the variety and isolation of the year, so it was a very simple decision.
“Pete’s still doing his homework, but he’s there, so we want him.
‘I don’t know if we’ll see him play much this season, it depends on how the season unfolds, Covid and isolation, but I think it was a no-brainer to have Pete on the team. for this reason.
“This can only be the goalkeepers we have to see among us one of the most productive in the world of the fashion age.
“Not for romance. “
AMERICAN’T
Frank Lampard underestimated Christian Pulisic when he arrived at the club “because he is American. “
Marsch, 46, told Extratime Radio: “The belief in Europe, mainly, is that the American player is in a position to run, in a position to fight, he has a smart mindset, but technically he is not very talented and tactically, he is not very conscious and his reports are not very important.
“But we are seeing this change. We are seeing it develop more and more.
“Even Frank Lampard, when I spoke to him in the preseason a year ago, was talking to him about having Christian Pulisic and he said, ‘Yes, he was given a lot to be informed, so let’s see how he does it. ‘.
“I said, “Look, he in Dortmund, and they had a higher point of tactical thinking, play, and he did very well. “
“He is regarded as one of Germany’s most productive young players and is in a player organization with Timo Werner, Kai Havertz, Joshua Kimmich, that type of player.
“I was in an organization with those players, and it wasn’t just because I was talented, but because I understood tactics and understood how to have compatibility in the game and developed a smart way to play.
“I can see directly that Frank Lampard’s Christian Pulisic concept was formed largely through the fact that he was American and not that his football education came here in large part because of what happened. spent in Germany.
“Since then, I Lampard has learned that Pulisic is much bigger than he has attributed to him.
MORNING FANS
Frank Lampard said he was satisfied with one point after the Blues opened their Champions League crusade with a 0-0 draw with Sevilla.
He said: “[The blank sheet is] whatever you try. Thiago has shown delight and quality. Mendy had an impediment to do and he did it. It was a very neat defensive functionality on our part.
“We control all the things that were thrown at us. We had a few moments, too. It’s wise, it’s a matter of two very smart groups being annuled in the first game, and we take the point and move on. “
“I think any of the groups will be quite satisfied with that. We’re going to get better, I stay saying the same thing, we haven’t had the staff there, we play regularly, we build relationships, we paint with others.
“If we do this, we will naturally get better. “
The result came hours after the Blues named 38-year-old club legend and soccer director Petr Cech to their list of 25 Premier League players.
Although Chelsea have well-documented goalkeeper problems, naming Cech on the list will cause a lot of eyebrows.
The Czech star retired at the end of the 2018–19 season after a four-year era with London’s rival Arsenal.
But Cech respected Stamford Bridge and returned as football director through general manager Marina Granovskaia.
Meanwhile, Chelsea requested the payment of a loan of $5 million and Antonio Rudiger’s full weekly salary paid during the summer period, according to reports.
The German center-back desperate for a missed start from Stamford Bridge after being eliminated from Frank Lampard’s team this season.
But according to The Athletic, the clubs have been postponed because of Rudiger’s loan.

Thiago Silva – 7
Like Zouma, Silva did an intelligent task when asked, but never felt too pressured by Seville, which was content to keep the property in less harmful areas.
Jorginho – 5

James Reece – 9
Chelsea star James was one of Chelsea’s only brilliant players tonight and sought to make a difference. It’s been a risk from the right and from the right to the defensive.
Ben Chilwell – 7

Kurt Zouma – 7
Zouma had a pretty quiet game tonight and defended himself well if necessary.
FRANK BLANK

“JP Morgan’s U. S. investment bankers are destined to fund a new invitation festival to update the Champions League.
“It is the first goalless draw of Lampard’s reign at Stamford Bridge when Chelsea cured their defensive incontinence against the royalty of European football.
“This blank blade almost as clever as a victory for the Blues boss, such had been the growing discontent with his team’s defense.
“But here’s a genuine first look at the new Chelsea, with the club’s six primary signings on the field at the same time and at the same time. “
