Summary: Chelsea - Liverpool 0:0 (Sport1)
Chelsea managed to stun the football world when they announced yesterday (Thursday) the return of Frank Lampard to coach the team.
The former midfielder, who is actually considered to be the greatest player in the club's history and as we know has already been coached by the Blues and was fired in January 2021, currently holds the position of coach until the end of the season and in the Kingdom they tried to explain why owner Todd Boley decided to give him the reins, after he had already parted ways with Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter this season.
"Boli has been at Chelsea for 11 months and during that time he simply tore the club apart, cut it off from important people who were in the system," the Daily Mail wrote, "Frank Lampard is his human shield, that's how he chooses to protect himself."

Lampard held a short press conference yesterday after his presentation and clarified that he returned "because my club called me", looking very smiling and reconciled knowing that a great success may keep him in the job next season as well.
Given Chelsea's league position, the only target left is effectively the Champions League - where the Blues now face two meetings with Real Madrid in the quarter-finals, first at the Bernabeu on Tuesday.
Tomorrow (Saturday, 17:00, Sport1) Chelsea will host Wolves.
Let's recall that just three months ago, Lampard was fired from Everton, which is still fighting for its life.
On Monday, Everton salvaged a point from Tottenham thanks to a goal in extra time and the club said this week that "with Lampard we would have lost for sure", but Boley and Chelsea decided to entrust the club to the man who is admired by the fans at least until the end of the season
"Bolly needs all the ambassadors of the club to try to forget the fact that at the moment Chelsea are not even among the top four London teams," concluded the "Daily Mail" about the decision to bring back the great symbol of Chelsea.
Of course, his dismissal about two years ago from Chelsea was in the era before Todd Boley, who just bought the club in the summer.
