Tammy Abraham reveals Chelsea stars were 'upset' with Frank Lampard

Chelsea star Tammy Abraham has revealed the Blues stars were ‘upset’ with Frank Lampard’s pre-season running drills. The England striker admits all that hard work is now worth it after four straight wins. “I think a lot of players were a bit upset about how much running we had to do in pre-season, but it's all paying off now,” he told The Athletic. “It all makes sense why we did it, why we had such a hard pre-season. From when the manager came in he told us the style of play, how he wanted us to play, how to press. At first, I couldn't do it. I had no energy. But as the season has gone on, I've got used to it. Now we know what he wants in the press, so for us, it's about giving defenders no time on the ball – just rushing them.” Abraham and his teammate Mason Mount have combined for 12 goals in total already this term. That puts them level with Liverpool’s three forward of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino.
