Lampard coy on England place

12 November 2009 - 02:48

According to Frank Lampard's dad, the midfielder does not yet believe he has confirmed his place on the flight to South Africa for the World Cup. Lampard remains focused on the task in hand before expecting to be in the squad.

  • Chelsea plan shock swoop for Sporting CP star
  • Chelsea have clear stance on signing Victor Osimhen
  • "Frank isn't thinking he's there. If he did, he would put his place in jeopardy," said his dad, Frank Lampard Sr.



    "Capello isn't that sort of manager. He will keep everyone guessing, a bit like Sir Alf Ramsey.



    "Bobby Moore always said that about Ramsey back in 1966 - that you never knew if you'd be in.



    "I think top, top managers have that about them, they make you worried about your place and it keeps players on their toes.



    "If you get your feet under the table then performance levels can drop five or ten per cent. You can't do that with Capello."
