It is a memory from the second of those triumphs that stands out when he looks back to those Wembley glories. 'I enjoyed the final against Everton,' said Lampard ahead of today's match. 'To score the winning goal is a small moment that stays with you. I grew up watching FA Cup finals and winning goals, and I remember them all very well. I could list them all from the nineties. 'So to score the winner was great, but that individual moment can't override the collective win, which they all were. I remember them all very fondly. They all had pressures on them, whether you're playing against Portsmouth or against Manchester United. The games are always difficult. The idea of it being a final changes the tone of it. All you have to do is win it, and then the feeling is great. 'I also remember losing the final against Arsenal in Cardiff, and that feeling is terrible,' added Lampard. 'It was my first real tough feeling of getting to a final, all the build-up, waking up on the morning with such nerves, and then you lose it. It's a horrible feeling that never goes away.' That London derby, played at the Millennium Stadium in the Welsh capital, came towards the end of Lampard's first season as a Chelsea player. He had been solid if not spectacular that campaign, but his impressive showing against Arsenal's Patrick Vieira served notice of some of what was to come from him over the next 12 years. 'Arsenal were a stronger team than us at the time. We competed well for a big portion of the game, and then they had a clinical nature that top teams have, that wins trophies. They were in a period like that. They had quality players throughout the team, and we had a few issues in ours with injuries. We were slightly below them, but we made a good case for ourselves. https://i.imgur.com/Oi5jdxX.jpg Lampard and Vieira jostling for possession during the 2002 Cup final 'I learned a lot on the day. With finals you do learn a lot, you learn those small details that change games will become even more important in finals. A lot of the players here have played in finals already, I will speak to the younger ones, so will the experienced players, and we have to be ready to try and make sure we don't have any regrets after the game. We can win or lose a game against Arsenal, that's always the case, but we have to give everything and not have a regret afterwards.' For much of this century, debate has raged about the FA Cup's significance in the modern era. For Lampard, the competition he grew up watching, and knowing his father had won, will never lose its impact. 'The magic is only how you feel about it. It's definitely there for me. I'm not sure we can expect some of the players who are in the Premier League in the modern day to think about Gazza's injury in that final, a goal in that final, big, huge moments we grew up with when the FA Cup final was sat on its own and you watched it from lunchtime right the way through to the end. 'I still have those feelings within me, so my job as manager of Chelsea is to try and ignite the players to feel like that, because I know the fans do. Particularly with it being a London derby, the players have to feel what the fans who are sitting on their sofas feel. 'I do have nerves at times, but what can take my nerves away is when I see the players train as they have this week, with an intensity,' continued Lampard. 'I didn't want to drop off after Wolves. We could have seen that as a mini-celebration, even though fourth isn't where we want to be at the end. I wanted the week to be good, and it has been. I need to be good. I need to prepare as well as I can, and get my meetings right. If I can do those things, my nerves aren't too bad.' -- ╔══╗╔╗╔╗╔══╗╔╗ ╔══╗╔══╗╔══╗ ║╔═╝║╚╝║║╔═╝║║ ║╔═╝║╔═╝║╔╗║ ║║ ║╔╗║║╔═╝║║ ╚═╗║║╔═╝║╚╝║ ║╚═╗║║║║║╚═╗║╚═╗╔═╝║║╚═╗║╔╗║ ╚══╝╚╝╚╝╚══╝╚══╝╚══╝╚══╝╚╝╚╝ --
