Frank Lampard described Didier Drogba as the best striker in the
world on Wednesday and urged the Ivorian international to remain at
Chelsea.
Drogba stunned the Blues last week when he announced that he
wanted to follow former coach Jose Mourinho out of Stamford
Bridge.
But Drogba, who scored 33 goals last season, later said he
regretted making his comments public and re-affirmed his commitment
to Chelsea's cause.
Since then Drogba scored in their win over Middlesbrough in the
Premier League and again in Wednesday night's victory over
Schalke 04 in the UEFA Champions League.
But Lampard, who has yet to commit his long-term future to the
club, insists it is important Chelsea hang on to Drogba.
Simply the best
The England international said: "He's the best,
it's as simple as that. There are different types of player -
Wayne Rooney [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] is a world-class player who comes off and creates and
scores. As an out-and-out striker, there's no-one better than
Didier.
"His all-round game: pace, power, team player, scores goals
with his head and his feet. He's the best I've played
with," said Lampard. "He's a great lad to have in the
dressing room and always fights to the end. The way he's played
in the last 18 months, there's no-one better in world
football.
"It's very important (to keep him) because players like
Didier [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] you want beside you," Lampard went on. "He makes
his decisions but when he's here playing for us, even with all
the controversy that's been around for the last week, his
performances show what he is all about."
Drogba's deft header gave Chelsea a 2-0 victory over Schalke
and kept them top of Group B.
The Blues had gone ahead in the fourth minute through Florent
Malouda and there were clear signs of a distinct shift towards a
more attacking style of football.
Flair hunt
New coach Avram Grant is determined to get Chelsea winning
with flair but accepts it will take time to complete the change
from the more gritty template adopted by Mourinho in his later
days.
But Lampard added: "People are looking for reasons to say
we are playing with more freedom because they want to say Chelsea
were boring but now they are entertaining," Grant said.
"That's just a load of talk. We want to win, play to win -
if that means good football it means good football but there is a
fine line between playing with freedom and overplaying.
"We have to make sure we don't do the wrong things and
make sure we are doing the right things," the coach went on.
"There are changes, every manager has different ideas - the
overall aim is to win games so we are all fighting in the same
direction. Results have shown that over the last few days. So
we've moved on a bit."
Lampard's England international colleague Joe Cole insists
he is happy to play with more freedom under the style Grant, and
his assistants Henk ten Cate and Steve Clarke, have introduced.
Cole declared: "There's a definite shift in the style
of play, especially the forwards, and [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] myself. It's important we
are picking up wins while we are adjusting.
Lesson learned
"We are learning new positions and looking at a new
style of play," Cole said. "I feel we are going to get
better and learn the style. We seem to have more of the ball.
I'm listening and learning and trying to take in everything I
can. I love [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] my football so that is all I can do. A new style of
play and a new challenge."
"There are definite changes and you were starting to see
them against Schalke, we had a lot of the ball," Cole added. A
new manager comes in with a new style and you have to adjust.
We're picking up points at the moment which is good. I'm
enjoying working with the new manager.
"I'm happy at the moment that I'm playing but I
still feel I am not at the top of my form but I'm doing my job
for the team. I expect to get better over the next few weeks when
I'm settled into the way we're playing. The great thing is
we are winning games."
