Frank Lampard Eager for Boxing Day Clash Against Wayne Rooney
Coventry City's new manager, Frank Lampard, expresses excitement about facing Plymouth Argyle, led by his former England teammate Wayne Rooney, in the upcoming Boxing Day fixture.
Frank Lampard, recently appointed as the manager of Coventry City, is looking forward to the Boxing Day match against Plymouth Argyle, managed by his former England colleague Wayne Rooney. Lampard, who took over Coventry City following Mark Robins' departure, anticipates a challenging encounter at the Coventry Building Society Arena.
Expressing his enthusiasm, Lampard stated, 'I have a lot of respect for Wayne and am excited to face him. Playing alongside him for England was a pleasure; he was an incredible player whose contributions should never be underestimated.'
Plymouth Argyle has struggled this season under Rooney's leadership, securing only four wins in 21 Championship matches and conceding 45 goals. Their recent 3-3 draw against Middlesbrough, managed by another former England teammate, Michael Carrick, saw them relinquish the lead three times.
Coventry City, currently six points above the relegation zone, aims to rebound from a 4-1 defeat to Portsmouth. Lampard emphasized the importance of confidence and determination, stating, 'We can lose a game, but we cannot lose the confidence and desire to do something about it.'
The Boxing Day fixture not only presents a crucial opportunity for both teams to secure vital points but also marks a notable managerial face-off between two of England's football legends.
