Re: Frank Lampard
It's funny how it works sometimes, isn't it?
Like may on here, I always hated Frank Lampard. However, he was one of those players that you hated because he was a dangerous player, a good player, and someone who didn't play for your side. If one is to be honest, there is a lot of grudging admiration in that kind of hatred. It's born out of the talent of the player, not him being a twat or a goon or whatever.
At the beginning of the season, when he was first subbed on a few times, I thought he looked good but felt he was very muted emotionally. At that time, I figured he would be a good soldier who knew what being a professional meant and who would put in a good shift when called on. However, as the weeks go by and I watch his body language, I see a man who seems to be bedding in with his team mates and taking nicely to his new home.
The question I mull over now, as talk simmers of his stay extending is this: what kind of motivation does a player like Frank Lampard have to help his new team overtake the old team that cast him aside without much regard? I think he might have a lot. He is a class footballer who loves the game and obviously has a bit of fuel left in his tank. He might very well like to help prove that Chelsea made a mistake. This could be a great thing for Manchester City for as long as he stays with the side.
Much respect, Frank Lampard. Much respect.
