LAMPARD: DAY I FOUND OUT ABOUT ROM

Wednesday 24th March 2004


    Frank Lampard has revealed the first time he heard of a Russian

billionaire trying to take over Chelsea was from Rio Ferdinand.


    Roman Abramovich's arrival shook football to its very foundations last

July and the shockwaves are still there for all to see with Chelsea's

assembly of star-studded players.


    The West Londoners were in deep financial trouble before the arrival of

Abramovich, but their new-found financial clout means they are able to bid

for any player on the planet and out-bid most other clubs.


    England international Lampard was expected to play only a bit-part role

for The Blues this term when manager Claudio Ranieri was given carte blanche

to buy any player he wanted, signing Geremi, Claude Makelele, Joe Cole and

Juan Sebastian Veron which looked to spell the end of the former West Ham

star's future at Stamford Bridge.


    However, Lampard has gone on to have the best season of his career so

far, helping Chelsea into the UEFA Champions League quarter finals and to

become the best placed challengers to Premiership leaders Arsenal.


    Lampard reveals he was sitting by a swimming pool in the Las Vegas desert

when he received a phone call from old friend Ferdinand of Manchester United

, saying rumours were rife of a takeover at Stamford Bridge and that his

career at the club would be over before it had a chance to get going.


    "I was in Vegas on holiday lying by a pool last summer," Lampard told

The Daily Mail. "And Rio rang and said that there was a Russian billionaire

taking over Chelsea.


    "He told me this geezer was really rich and was going to buy everyone

and I was a goner, but I took no notice. A week later I came back and it was

all true."


    With Ranieri boosting his squad with a host of signings it looked

inevitable Lampard was on his way out but he revealed he decided to stay and

make the rest of the world take note of his own particular talents rather

than fall by the wayside.


    "I said to myself you can either look for another club, or become a

better footballer and play every game," he added. "I decided to become a

better player."


    That he did. Lampard has become one of the only players Ranieri the

'Tinkerman' has constantly relied on, with the ace only missing one game

this season in the Carling Cup.


    The Italian coach's future has been the subject of constant speculation

and it remains to be seen whether he will once again be in charge next season

but Lampard has praised the former Valencia coach for how much he has helped

him mature and develop as a player.


    "He's made me much more aware tactically. I was too naive for Champions

League football when I came here but now I know I can compete at that level.

I have matured a lot mentally," he said.

   
    "The most important thing Claudio did was to take me aside when I first

came to the club. I loved to run forward at any opportunity and scored 40

goals in four seasons for West Ham, but he explained to me that I shouldn't

run all the time.


    "The difference is making right decisions and he has taught me how to do

that."
