Lampard back in chaos
Frank Lampard is on the touchline for the second time in his coaching career at Chelsea. Yesterday’s comeback went 0-1 at Wolverhampton Wanderers, however. “Frank Lampard finds Chelsea as he left them: quarrelsome, toothless and doomed to mid-table”, writes the Telegraph. The ‘Mirror’ sums up Lampard’s debut: “What he needed was a leap of faith. What he got was a real wake-up call”. The judgment of the ‘Daily Mail’ is also devastating: “Lost, confused, the opposite of a team, Chelsea look and play like a bunch of strangers thrown together to shoot a soft drink commercial.”
Poaching Klopp at Real?
Liverpool FC feels three transfer windows away from bringing an absolute top team back onto the pitch. One of the objects of desire for the Reds’ squad change is playing at Real Madrid. According to Spanish ‘El Nacional’, midfield vacuum cleaner Aurélien Tchouaméni has particularly taken a liking to Jürgen Klopp. Liverpool therefore have 80 million euros in mind for the services of the Frenchman. The problem: Real only put 100 million euros on the table for the 23-year-old last summer. Liverpool’s upheaval will not be child’s play.
An attacking trio for Xavi
At FC Barcelona, those responsible juggle the finances every day to make the next new purchases possible. Because the Catalans are indefatigable despite the mountain of debt and the exceeded salary cap. The ‘Sport’ writes today that “Barça preparing a revolution in attack”. Robert Lewandowski should receive more support. For this they want to get Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Vitor Roque and Yannick Carrasco on board in Barcelona. Basic requirement: The releasing clubs would have to lower their price demands. How else could one have expected it.
