Mourinho then made a particular point of praising those newer players who are gathering experience. “[Branislav] Ivanovic is experienced. [Cesar] Azpilicueta gets experience. [Eden] Hazard is here for three years. [Nemanja] Matic gets experience. The years are for everyone, not just for them. Chelsea lost, in the end of last year, what I consider for sure, one of the five most important players in the history of Chelsea FC: Frank Lampard. But life goes on. You have to think about the future and to build, and you have to go. Because, with Frank Lampard, Chelsea lost a match winner with a number of goals he scored, a big character, a player without injuries who played every game, a player who beat every record in the Premier League. An absolutely amazing player.”
