Coventry City coach Frank Lampard refuted the claim that a master player cannot be a master coach.
Sports media "The Athletic" said on the 3rd (Korea Standard Time), "Coventry City is ranked 5th, dreaming of promotion to the Premier League. Lampard has looked back on three months since taking over as coach."
Recently, Coventry City has been in good mood. It has won eight of its past nine matches, ranking fifth in the English Championship (second division). It is a ranking that can challenge for promotion. At the center is Lampard, who took the helm during the season.
"When I take the helm in the middle of the season, I have to quickly identify problems and correct them," Lampard said. "We need to quickly identify players and understand individuals and organizations. We need to gain consent from the players and motivate them with good training and clear messages. Fortunately, we saw that."
Lampard was England's best midfielder in the past. After growing up at West Ham United, he displayed full capacity and skills at Chelsea. Notably, he won the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League when he was at Chelsea. After playing in Manchester City and New York City, he took off his soccer boots in 2016. 카지노
Lampard's career as a manager was somewhat humble compared to his playing days. He coached Derby County, Chelsea, and Everton, but failed to produce notable results. Notably, he was dismissed as a manager for Chelsea and Everton, which dampened his self-esteem.
"To say that a great player is not a great coach is really lacking in sincerity," Lampard said. "Zinedine Zidane, Carlo Ancelotti, Johan Cruyff, Pep Guardiola... When you start to list those players, it's just an error."
"There is an emphasis on that. I think a former player who was highly regarded should get more recognition in itself if he or she starts this job. There is a bigger drop. That's the tendency in England," he said.
His recent assessment is different. Lampard said, "The longer you go on, the more you can learn. I sometimes use the skills I learned as a player, but what's more important is to use the skills I learned from the first day I started as a coach. I have been learning every day since then." Attention is focusing on whether Lampard will be able to lead Coventry City to promotion.
