Frank Lampard is not concerned about his long-term position at the helm of Everton despite suffering a defeat to Brighton.
Pressure on Frank Lampard increased after his team was humiliated by Brighton with a 4-1 loss at Goodison Park. As a result of the loss, they have fallen into the bottom three, and there is growing concern that the Merseysiders may be involved in a fight to avoid relegation for the second year in a row.
Lampard took over as manager of Everton in the middle of the previous season and was able to maintain the club in the Premier League, although he currently has a winless streak of 10 games. Although the board on the blue side of the city is not known for its patience, the former Chelsea midfielder is not expecting for future guarantees at this time.
He stated, “I have never sought reassurances, nor do I intend to in the future.”
“My profession requires me to have a singular, unwavering concentration on the tasks at hand, both during the course of the day and from one game to the next. That is the unavoidable truth of the situation. In all honesty, I don’t require any reassurance. I don’t go looking for reassurances since I come to work every day with the intention of bettering myself, the team, the squad, and everything else; therefore, I don’t waste my time looking for them”.
During his very brief time in management, Lampard has already been terminated from his position once. He was one of many players Roman Abramovich released from their contracts at Chelsea, and he is now looking to make a name for himself at Goodison Park. The 44-year-old splurged a total of £85 million on players throughout the summer, including Dwight McNeil and Neal Maupay, among others.
That has created even more pressure, but Lampard is unconcerned about their position in the table as it stands right now. He continued by saying, “I’m not an idiot. If we want to remain in this league, we need to start producing some positive outcomes. This is the very first occurrence in this year. However, the fact that we are now in the bottom three is not the primary source of my concern”.
“However, if we win our next league game, we will probably no longer be in the bottom three in the standings. I came into this job with a clear understanding of what was expected of me, and my goal is to make a name for myself here at the club. When difficulties have presented themselves, I have met them head-on, and I have found that I like the experience. It’s an honor for me to be able to contribute to this club that I really enjoy working for. I’m a huge man who helps out a good club, and I’m going to keep doing it”.
The manager of Everton referenced Arsenal’s ascent to prominence as evidence that consistent investment and solid work behind the scenes can eventually lead to success. He is certain that the necessary building blocks are currently being erected on Merseyside.
His words were as follows: “If you look at Arsenal’s journey over the previous three years, you can see that it is not an easy route, and it has come with investment.” Sometimes, from the outside, it is not possible to perceive the development that has been made, but in my opinion, it has been there.
