LOOKING TO THE FUTURE ... Frank Lampard
Published: Today at 11:55
FRANK LAMPARD insists Chelsea fans have plenty to look forward to this season.
Champions League hero Didier Drogba may have left for pastures new, but the arrivals of Eden Hazard and Marko Marin have got the Blues buzzing.
Brazilian playmaker Oscar is also expected to join in a £25million switch from Sao Paulo, leaving Lampard excited about the future.
Lamps, 34, said: "We proved to be a great team and a great unit in the second half of last season.
“This year maybe we are slightly different because we have more new young players coming in.
“There might not be the settled togetherness that we had on the pitch because we had been together a long time.
“But there is an excitement about our team as well — and that’s probably the main difference.
“Everyone is trying to impress and you never lose that in pre-season. There’s not one manager I’ve met yet who will close the door on any player.
“We have to perform at a high level to stay in the team because of the quality of the squad we have."
