Everton boss Ancelotti: Lampard taught me things at Chelsea

Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti is looking forward to facing Frank Lampard's Chelsea.

Former Chelsea manager Ancelotti revealed that far from giving the former Chelsea midfielder advice when he went into management, he actually learned a lot from Lampard, and other English players like John Terry and Ashley Cole, during his time at Chelsea.

“Frank was a fast learner, really intelligent. Really professional as a player. I have a good memory of all the players there, especially the English ones like John Terry, Frank and Ashley Cole.

“They helped me a lot to know the atmosphere, the history of the club, they helped me a lot and also with the language. And of course. Ray Wilkins [his No2] was really important too."
