“And second, don’t lose what you have here [points at head] you need to think right and look for solutions.
“If you do that then everything will be okay because the quality is there and there is a potential like there was [at Chelsea] in my time.”
He continued: “About the current situation I can say only this: You need to be strong when things are not going well when things are going well everyone is a genius and knows what to do.
“But in a situation like this when things aren’t going well you need to be strong, look for solutions, and show a lot about your character.”
Lampard, who became a Chelsea legend after spending 13 years at the club, said he is not worried about the questions being asked as the former Three Lions midfielder understands that life with the Premier League giants will also bring in big challenges.
Speaking t the media, Lampard said: “The reality is that one month ago and at the beginning of the season there was talk over whether we could win the league, but I was pretty sure of the fact of where we were at in terms of the ban and the rebuild and the youth.
