https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/2020/07/04/ willian-contract-talks-on-going-says-frank-lampard Willian contract talks on-going says Frank Lampard 04 Jul 2020 Frank Lampard has confirmed there is still a possibility Willian could be a Chelsea player for the 2020/21 season. https://i.imgur.com/akRoBdI.jpg The in-form Brazilian, who has scored five goals in his past six appearances, signed a short-term contract last month that ensures he can play for the Blues until the end of the current campaign but after that, his future is uncertain. 'I haven't given up hope on it,' said Lampard on the subject of a new contract for Willian beyond that. 'The club are still in discussions with him. We want him to stay but I also appreciate the fact this contract for Willian is a big deal because of his age. I have been there before myself, but the way he is playing at the moment shows his worth to the squad and I hope it is something we can get to. https://i.imgur.com/2GwRXQ6.jpg 'Whichever way, he has been a great servant to the club and if we can get there, I'll be happy. If not, I will certainly wish him well as I have a lot of time for him and in the short term, we can see what he is doing for us.' The question over Willian's long-term availability plus the focus on the rest of 2019/20 means Lampard does not want to discuss further potential signings in the attacking department at this stage, with Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner already recruited. 'At the moment we are working towards trying to finish off this season and trying to be better in front of goal in the next six games, with the FA Cup included. And the players here can improve and we work towards that all the time. We will take a view on that and similarly defensively. I have to focus on the players here now and what happens in the summer will be what happens. I don't want to talk too far in the future. We have a strong group here, we have a job to do and we will sit down and look at it in the break.' That could include recruiting players to add height to the squad after Lampard admitted after the West Ham defeat that playing sides with a height advantage does cause his current side difficulties. 'We have looked at set-plays this season,' he said. 'When we came into the club we looked at the stats from last season and last season we were bottom of the league in terms of defending set-plays and in terms of other teams getting big chances against us. We were second bottom in attacking [with set-plays]. We looked at that and it is not a reference to last season only as we haven't improved much this year. 'If you look at personnel, I really don't like to talk about my days playing but we didn't really work so much on set-pieces. We did with certain managers more than others and probably there were a few reasons why but they were mainly John Terry, Gary Cahill, Didier Drogba, Michael Ballack, Branislav Ivanovic. You stick it in an area and they would defend it or score goals. 'Similarly with Liverpool, I remember a lot of talk about them defending set-pieces two or three seasons ago. They were zonal, they conceded a lot, they signed Virgil van Dijk and he heads out everything that comes into the box. 'So there is a huge relation to personnel and if you don't have that in terms of a big size across the team, trying to compete as hard as you can and make it difficult for other teams to score is the main thing. I am not making an excuse when I say this as we have not done that well enough on the pitch and that has to improve. When you look at who you might bring in, and the balance of the squad, in the modern day it is certainly something to take into account when you are looking at recruitment.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/2020/07/04/ lampard-explains-key-to-breaking-down-teams-that-sit-deep Lampard explains key to breaking down teams that sit deep 04 Jul 2020 One of the obstacles Frank Lampard's Blues have regularly faced this season is a deep block of defenders, and it's not unreasonable to expect the same when Watford visit tonight. https://i.imgur.com/BLZ7YPP.jpg We have often looked at our best this season against teams who aren't afraid to get men forward, and victories against Liverpool, Manchester City, Leicester, Wolves, Arsenal and Tottenham prove we are capable of mixing it with the best. But one of the reasons we haven't already locked down a top-four spot is because of inconsistencies against sides lower down the table. The West Ham midweek defeat was a case in point, and Lampard is determined to avoid a similar outcome when the Hornets, also fighting relegation, visit Stamford Bridge. 'They have to bounce back and that is a mindset thing,' Lampard said. 'We had been playing well, we were on a good run, and then we lose a game where we made mistakes to lose the game. 'We've had some issues this season with teams that sit deep against us and try to counter-attack and some teams that are maybe physical and rely on set-pieces. We have to just be more astute on the pitch to that. The players know that so it's going to be what we deliver on the pitch. 'I just think, against West Ham, the tempo was slightly slow, slower than what it needed to be to break them down better and then we switched off to make mistakes. And that is mentality, that is focus and concentration and you work on that and it comes over time as well. 'I think the players are very aware of it, it has to be a day-to-day thing as well, for me, mentality,' added the boss. 'It's how you train, how you focus, how you sit in meetings, how you think about the next game, how you think about your opponent. If we get that right with the players we've got then I'm confident we'll finish the season well.' -- 當我漫遊在斯坦弗森林時，我看見了雀爾西，米爾斯的女兒，在傍晚初升的明月中， 在泰晤士河旁一處林地空間上翩然舞蹈。所有痛苦的記憶都離開了我，我像落入迷離 幻境中一般，因為雀爾西是伊露維塔兒女中最美的一位。她身上那襲藍色的衣裳宛如 萬里無雲的晴空，她灰色的眼睛像是傍晚群星閃爍的天空；她的斗篷上繡著金色的花 朵，她的頭髮漆黑如暮色中的陰影。她的榮光與美好，就像樹葉上的光芒，像是潺潺 流水，像是這迷離世界上方閃爍的繁星；她臉上有閃亮的光輝。 --
