Cesar Azpilicueta has revealed the Frank Lampard inspiration and his role as Chelsea captain at Stamford Bridge.
“I could see when we were sharing the dressing room, now I can see it as a manager,” he told the official club website about Frank Lampard’s mentality. “His passion, his desire to win. He is a winner. I reflect that in myself, the way I come here to Cobham.
“I know the club quite well, a lot of people who are around and I really feel involved in the day-to-day club life.
“I have passion when I go to the training ground. I always like to win every single possession game or whatever in training. I want to get that into the games where I am very proud to lead the team.”
“Gary was the captain last year even if he was not very involved in the team,” he added. “He was always there supporting me and helping me with the duties we had to share. Since we were named the captain and vice-captain, we always tried to work together to find the solutions,” he added.
“Last season, nearly the whole season I was the captain on the pitch and it is something where I am used to it but always you try to improve. Being nearly the third season but now as club captain, I just try to give my best because I am very proud to be the club captain and I will give everything to do it right.”
