Many believe that the newcomer, Lamps, had bitten more than he could when he arrived from County Derby last summer to take over a Chelsea team that was serving a movement ban that prevented him from replacing star artist Eden Hazard.
However, yesterday’s 2-0 win over the Wolves secured the fourth position and opened the leap to European football’s top-seed competition, with an FA Cup final opposed to Arsenal coming to Wembley on Saturday.
However, to praise the praise, Lampard praised his improvised team and said, “I’m very happy.
“But I probably wouldn’t start making a song my own praises because it’s the players who produce it.
‘I’m proud, but I put little hooks on that, because it’s Chelsea and we have to be a challenge for league titles, but we’re not in that position yet.
I knew it at the beginning of the year and I knew we were competing, not only against Liverpool and City, but against Man United, the Wolves, Tottenham and Arsenal, who spent a hundred million pounds north, so it was going to be tricky for us.
“But the boys competed. We have been incoherent, we will be righteous and humble about it, because we will have to be humble in the future.
“But tonight we can be happy at what we’ve achieved.”
A quick two-goal outburst in the first half of Mason Mount and Olivier Giroud was enough to win all three points and seal fourth place for the Lampard Blues, followed by the new 54 million-pound recruit, Timo Werner.
“The year I spent in Derby showed me that this is definitely the role I was looking to play.
Lamps added: “I hope you’ve seen that we have team skill, genuine endurance and a strong unity within the group.
“Now you can bring yours and upload it.
“I hope it’s a wonderful first stop for him and we look forward to seeing him next season.”
Lampard took the difficult resolution to drop Kepa’s world record of 76.1 million pounds and update him with Willy Caballero, but that resolution paid off with a rare blank sheet at Stamford Bridge.
My preference for doing it right is so wonderful and I can’t help but miss us to get better and better, so maybe I’ve been too critical of myself.
It was one of many tough decisions he made in his first year as prime minister, and the Chelsea manager says it will be better for fun next season.
Lampard said: “The year I spent in Derby showed me that this is definitely the role I was looking to play.
“When I got my year off from football and I worked in the media, I wasn’t attracted enough.
“It was a smart task and I enjoyed something, but I sought to go back to football.
“When I got the job at Chelsea, the massive progress and demands for winning week after week were tough.
“My preference for doing it right is so wonderful and I can’t help but miss out on getting better and better, so maybe I’ve been too critical of myself.
“I’ve learned a million things and I’m humble enough to know if there are things I can improve, I’ll do it because I need good fortune for this club.”
