The Chelsea midfielder has admitted that he has huge respect for Bayern Munich who will be Chelsea’s opponents in the UEFA Champions League final on the 19th of May, 2012. Both the teams are set to take on each other
at the Allianz Arena in what is expected to be a mouth-watering season finale...
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Frank-Lampard-c14097, Chelsea’s main playmaker has come out and revealed that he has great respect for Bayern Munich as Chelsea prepare to face the German giants in the UEFA Champions League final. Bayern Munich are favourites to win
the final courtesy of the fact that they will be playing in their home city Munich on their home stadium, Allianz Arena.
However the manner in which Chelsea have reached the final is remarkable to say the least. In the round of sixteen, the Blues were down by four goals to one against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 heading into the second leg where they outplayed the Italian
underdogs to gain a place in the quarterfinals against Benfica.
After dispatching Benfica, they were pitted against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 in the semi-finals and defeated the Spanish giants over the two legs to set up a final date against Robben and co. Frank Lampard said, "I have huge respect for them.
I grew up being frustrated by them as an England fan. You know how tough they are in certain situations."
Lampard also spoke about http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 team mate as he stated, “He was one of those players who you could probably take the wrong way in the beginning, but he was so determined, confident and wanted to win.
The German teams I have played against all seem to have that individually. That's why they will be such a force at the Euros as well this summer.”
He added, "They are very technically intelligent. Maybe it's the set-up and the system they have with the young kids there. We talk about http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 and what we need to do - the Spanish have shown it, the French have shown it and
the Germans with their under-21s."
