Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa takes swipe at tactics of Everton boss Lampard

Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga has taken a swipe at Everton boss Frank Lampard.

Kepa revealed that he has had to adapt his style since Thomas Tuchel took over after Lampard was sacked in January 2021, and in doing so claimed Lampard's approach was much simpler and looser.

"We came from a not so elaborate game (with Lampard)," Arrizabalaga told Marca.

"We didn't have to take the ball from behind, a less planned game, more (about) the free expression of the player, back and forth and less control.

"With Tuchel we have returned to control. It is true that in the Premier League we were not close to the top two, but in the other tournaments we were very competitive."
