Harry Redknapp backs Chelsea boss Frank Lampard to 'move on' from Jurgen Klopp spat

Frank Lampard will move swiftly on from his row with Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, according to former Tottenham Hotspur boss Harry Redknapp.

The Blues boss expressed his frustration after Chelsea's defeat to Liverpool during the week, claiming the Reds bench were over the top in their celebrations, warning them not to "get too arrogant"

That has seen him come under criticism, perhaps largely due to the fact he chose to speak out on the night of Liverpool's trophy lift.

But Lampard will move on from the incident, according to the Blues' boss' uncle, Redknapp.

Chelsea v Wolves: Frank Lampard press conference

“Frank has been around professional football since he was a toddler," he told The Sun. "He doesn’t need advice from anyone, although I’ve lots of respect for Klopp.

“Frank is very calm usually, he doesn’t tend to get involved in things like this.

"For him to react like that, it must have been something to really wind him up. Frank respects Jurgen. And I know he will just want to shake hands on it if he can and move on.

"You don’t play so long at the very top and then become a Premier League manager so quickly if you don’t have brains.

“It would be good for them just to put it behind them.

"Their paths will cross and it doesn’t help either of them if they can’t just see it as one of those moments when tempers are frayed.”

Klopp recently responded to Lampard's comments, saying: "Frank was obviously in a really competitive mood. I respect that a lot. You can pretty much, from my point of view, say, in a situation like this, what you want.

"For me, when it is after the game, it is completely over. I have said a lot in the past because it is pure emotion. We are really involved.

"He came here to win the game or to get a point to get Champions League qualification. I respect that a lot. What he has to learn is to finish it with the final whistle and he didn't do that.

"Speaking afterwards like this, that is not OK. Frank has to learn. He has a lot of time to learn because he is a young coach but that he has to learn."
