Lampard Tells Critics To Respect Mason Mount After Rennes Masterclass

Lampard Tells Critics To Respect Mason Mount After Rennes Masterclass

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has insisted that negative comments around Mason Mount must be stopped after the England international put up a majestic performance in a 2-1 win against Rennes on Tuesday.

There have been questions about Lampard’s treatment of Mason Mount among the fans and media in recent times. Many have accused the English manager of favouring his compatriot.

Some even labeled the former Derby County midfielder as Lampard’s son but the 42-year-old believes the social media criticism of Mount is unwarranted, insisting the 21-year-old deserves to be respected.

"I'm really pleased. With Mason there's been a lot of talk and any negative talk just needs to go away. I've been lucky enough to be closer to him and what he did at Derby and last season has been outstanding,” Lampard told reporters after the victory over Rennes.

“I'm not going to undermine the quality he has and when we have two number eights he's got all the qualities - I think he can get more goals and assists. The pass for Callum Hudson Odoi's goal was top class. You saw Kai [Havertz] coming on too, we need to keep that competition.

"I actually don't speak to him too much. We have a good relationship, not as close as some think. He knows I'm here if he needs any guidance but it's the social media world, in the modern day world we all have opinions and want different things from players.”

“It should only be what I think, the players think and proper Chelsea fans think of him. The conversation just needs to move on, there's nothing to make of it."
