Chelsea ace Lampard: Mourinho return will be romantic

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Mon, 01/18/2010 - 12:05

Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard is excited about facing Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho in the Champions League.

The two still keep in touch and Lampard admits he is looking forward to facing his old mentor.

"I can't wait. I think it was the best draw we could have got really," said Lampard.

"It's a tough draw football-wise but I think for Mourinho to come back to Stamford Bridge will be great for us, great for the fans, great for him and we have to go into it confident.

"We sent each other a few texts talking about the draw after it was made. He was happy with the draw.

"He's got a lot of love for Chelsea. He came back to watch a game recently and I saw him before that and he explained what Chelsea means to him. The love goes backwards and forwards with the fans - they love him.

"That's why it's such a romantic game and will be a great game to play in."

yes mourinho is a chancer, he joins clubs that are either already succesful or threrabouts, spends a lot of money on players thus incurring great debt for the club and after a couple of years of success when its all about to collapse pulls out leaving behind all his misfits and debts.

As a Chelsea fan I think Lampard has gone too far in his patronising of Mourinho who is a conman and traitor, only cares about himself and not the team he manages. Lampard shows weak character by making these statements.
