Kovacic: I'm learning to score from Lampard

  /  autty

Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic has said that manager Frank Lampard wants him to become a regular source of goals for the club.

During his playing days, Blues boss Lampard was a master of arriving at the perfect time in the box to score goals, netting more than anyone else for the club, and he is hoping to add a similar edge to the game of the former Real Madrid man.

“He has joked about that before but I also think he was being serious, because he knows I should score more goals,” he told the club’s official website.

“He has been preparing me to arrive late in the box to score more goals and it is just a consequence of training hard and preparing myself.

“I think mentally I have become stronger this season. Last season I was obsessed a little bit with not scoring because people were always asking when I was going to score.

“This summer I was just focused on preparing well and having a good season for the team and, as I said before, the goals are just consequences of training well and preparing myself.”
