Chelsea boss Lampard: No Abramovich contact, but confident of commitment

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard is confident of the commitment of owner Roman Abramovich.

Lampard is keen to hail his relationship with technical adviser Petr Cech and director Marina Granovskaia, alongside his links to the west London club's Russian owner.

"I haven't spoken to him (Abramovich) recently; I speak to Marina a lot and with Petr," said Lampard. "We are very joined up and we talk a lot and communication is key in that.

"When you say that I know the owner very well, in the workplace, to a degree, I do.

"But I also understand what he wants for this club. I played under it, I felt it as a player when he first came here so I get that, and with my conversations with Marina that's always relayed.

"I want the same as him. In terms of his commitment, I think he has shown his commitment regularly to our football club.

"We have done some business now that will hopefully improve us for next season and we want to keep moving forward.
