Midfielder doesn't want to come second-fiddle at club
|
Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard has admitted that as soon as he
becomes a 'passenger' to the team, that is when he will retire from
football.
The 35-year-old is still going strong in the heart of
The Blues midfield, and at the weekend he netted his 206th and 207th
Chelsea goal as they saw off his old-club West Ham United at Upton Park
in comfortable fashion.
However, he knows that his career is coming to an end and when asked about his future, Lampard admitted that he takes it season by season now rather than looking to the future.
Lampard said: 'No, I don’t any more. It is season by season for me.
'I feel fit and strong. I am enjoying playing pretty regularly at the minute and if I can show that I am good enough to carry on playing then I will try to do that.
'Having been at Chelsea for 13 years now, I can’t quite see myself playing in the Premier League anywhere else. Anywhere in England really.
'If I can keep contributing here... I don’t want to be a passenger, sitting on the bench and not doing much, even in my older years. So, as I said, I will take it year by year.'
