Lidt om Lampard som træner:
In terms of the way he sets his team up, Lampard commonly deployed a 4-3-3 with two number 10s rather than out and out wingers resulting in a 4-3-2-1 effect. This results in his side playing largely in the center of the pitch rather than out wide.
In this current Chelsea side, those roles will likely be played by Willian and Christian Pulisic. Pulisic has experience as a central player, often being deployed there for the USMNT and playing rather well. Something which bodes well for Chelsea’s new signing.
Lampard instructs his players to play the game with high intensity both on the ball and off the ball with plenty of support runs and an extremely large focus on pressing the opposition in all areas of the pitch.
Lampard’s Derby side liked to play out from the back of the pitch. Utilising the central area of the field with quick play with many runners off the ball. Lampard follows the “triangle” rule where each player has 2-3 options to pass to, resembling a triangle shape.
In Lampard’s side, the defensive midfielder often dropped deep to receive the ball. For Chelsea, this will likely be the role of Jorginho which suits him perfectly as he can receive the ball deep and look for outlet passes.
Essentially, from an offensive standpoint Lampard’s side relied heavily on creating spaces by forming passing triangles all over the pitch thus creating horizontal lanes for his side.
Defensively: Lampard instructs his defence to stay extremely compact and narrow to fill the center of the pitch. This causes opposition teams to play from the outside which benefits Derby as the ball stays further from goal which is the whole idea of his system.
Lampard’s press begins from his striker, who looks to put pressure on the opposition in hope of regaining possesion high up the pitch. Therefore, Chelsea must have players who are fit enough to press hard for 90 minutes.
Lampard’s side put immense pressure on opponents by pressing them in every area of the pitch and leaving extremely low amounts of space for the press to be neutralised resulting in forward passing being much more difficult.
Derby oftened switched from the 4-3-1-2 to a 4-4-2 when defending. Leaving the striker and a winger further up the field in order to launch rapid counter attacks. Once again, utilising off the ball movement largely to their success.
Overall with Lampard, you’re looking at a manager who will look to implement a press-heavy offensive style of football which utlises the middle area of the pitch to create spaces for attacking opportunities.
If his style of play is to be likened to any manager I would say there are combinations of Louis Van Gaal and Carlo Ancelotti. The latter of which Lampard played under and likely gained inspiration and modelled some of his tactical idealogies from.
However, big doubts remain on Lampard’s ability to implement his style successfully in the Premier League. As we saw last year, Slavisa Jokanovic had Fulham playing great football in the Championship however, it spectacularly failed in the Premier League.
Regardless of his inexperience, one thing is for certain, Lampard will unite Stamford Bridge far more than previous managers and the Blues legend will be getting significant support from all Chelsea fans on the sidelines this season.
