Willian urges Chelsea board to be patient with Frank Lampard | OneFootball

Chelsea winger Willian has urged the Chelsea board to be more “like Manchester City and Liverpool” and have patience with Frank Lampard.

Willian has now worked under five different managers since his move to Stamford Bridge in 2013 – a higher turnover rate than any other Premier League club.

And the 31-year-old believes stability could prove crucial in the Blues reaching their former heights.

“Lampard was a legend at Chelsea and one of the best players in Europe,” he told Sky Sports.

“The fans love him and he obviously knows the club very well.

“Maybe now it’s time to give more time like Man City do, like Liverpool do, three or four years. That could be very important.”

“I’ve been at Chelsea six years and I’ve had five different managers already,” the Brazilian added.

“From my side, I want to stay here. I know I only have one year left but I feel good playing for Chelsea.”
