Chelsea midfielder Kovacic: Lampard and I working on improving goalscoring

Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic admits manager Frank Lampard is working on him scoring more this season.

Kovacic has scored twice so far this season.

He told the club's website: "He (Lampard) has been preparing me to arrive late in the box to score more goals and it is just a consequence of training hard and preparing myself.

"I think mentally I have become stronger this season. Last season I was obsessed a little bit [with not scoring] because people were always asking when I was going to score.

"This summer I was just focused on preparing well and having a good season for the team and, as I said before, the goals are just consequences of training well and preparing myself."
