http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 international is easily one of the greatest midfielders to ever play football, and feels that the player truly deserves to be called a legend.
At the moment, Lampard and his future as a Chelsea player are still in major doubt. This is because the player is yet to go on and put pen to paper on a new deal at the club, which has led many to believe that the midfielder is going to be on his way out of the team in the summers.
Lampard went on to become Chelsea’s leading goal scorer this past weekend, as he scored a brace for the club. The two goals helped his side go on and secure Champions League football, which just goes to show how good he really is.
Juan Mata strongly feels that the midfielder should stick around at the club, and that the club’s management should consider keeping him around for as long as they possibly can, this is because he feels that the player has a lot more to offer, which he can only do if he sticks around at the club.
"It's a thing between him and the club but, obviously, as a team-mate, I feel really proud to be playing with him and training with him and he's a very important player for us," the Spaniard said in a recent interview.
"Frank is a legend. He's a legend who is still playing for us and who is still helping the team.”
"When I was playing in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 I was always looking at him like one of the best midfielders in the history of England because I don't know how many players are able to score that many goals."
He then went on to admit that Lampard has proven to be a good leader for the team, and that he would look to do the same again, should http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/John-Terry-c18895 end up being injured for the final of the Europa League.
"He's our captain, he is a good leader," the attacking midfielder added. "He's so close to the people, he's always helping. It's an honour to play alongside him."
