Frank Lampard details new Chelsea obsession with FA Cup triumph the first step

Frank Lampard has admitted he is “obsessed” with making Chelsea the No.1 club in England again.

Lampard can win his first trophy as a manager in the FA Cup final.

And he has promised that it will be the first of many, as he says he can handle the pressure of trying to catch the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City to be crowned champions.

Chelsea boss Lampard, who won the FA Cup four times and was a serial winner as a player at Stamford Bridge, said: “This is my life and I am obsessed with how I can get this club to where it wants to be.

“Do we want to win titles here every year? Yes, of course we do.

"The fact that we’re in a cup final means we’re close to maybe doing that this year.

“I don’t mind the pressure, I’m so used to it as a player and if you took that pressure away then I would miss it.

"I don’t mind that and I understand what comes with that. I put more pressure on myself than anything or anybody.

“There’s a gap to close. We can’t just claim we’re going to be title contenders, even next year there’s a gap to close before we start having those conversations.

“I hope that I can bring us forward to a point where expecting titles every year includes expecting Premier League titles.

"We’re not at that position now but that’s where I want to get to and that is going to be a process.”
