Frank Lampard slammed by former player Andre Wisdom in scathing interview

Frank Lampard slammed by former player Andre Wisdom in scathing interview

Andre Wisdom, a former Liverpool defender has brutally tackled Chelsea’s interim manager Frank Lampard whom he played under at Derby County.

Speaking during an interview with The Beautiful Game Podcast, Andre who recalled a personal experience with Lampard claimed that he has a “poor management style”.

He said;

“I’ve had one manager scream at me and it was Lampard. We got smashed by, 4-0 I think, and I said some comments after the game and then he just went in. But it was nothing to do really with football, it was more about me as a person which was very strange to me.

“He said some things that were just very strange. For instance, when someone says “I’m not scared of you. He said I walked slow, he said I bully people.

“Anybody you could ask, I know it might sound a bit egotistical, but they’ll say no Andre is cool. I’ve never once even raised my voice at anyone. Don’t play with me. Do not. Don’t. But bully is different.

“I’ll talk to you by yourself over there. That’s my type. But in front of people, why do that? You’re going to react then we have a problem. I’m not all the things he said, so it was weird.

“My experience it was weird, it was very, very weird. It didn’t feel like I was at football, and I think what kind of threw me was the fact that it was Frank Lampard.

“I don’t want you to misinterpret it like I was in awe… far from. Far from. I think I expected something that I wasn’t getting. I expected more from him as a man.”

Lampard returned to Stamford Bridge as the interim manager last month after the club sacked Graham Potter.

However, the Chelsea legend has had a torrid start to his second stint as manager after losing all six matches in charge.
