FirstpostChelsea boss Lampard said: “I don’t think you can get on in elite sport, in any elite team sport, with people without any personality and character in your team.” London: Frank Lampard on Friday urged his Chelsea players to step up and show leadership as he seeks to fast-track his Stamford Bridge revolution. Winger Hakim Ziyech this week pledged to be true to his outspoken nature, and Blues boss Lampard said he welcomed such a bold approach. “I don’t think you can get on in elite sport, in any elite team sport, with people without any personality and character in your team.” Lampard said Ziyech and Mendy had impressed him since walking through the door.
