The coach of Chelsea Football Club of London, Frank Lampard has apologised for perpetrating a vulgar language in a row transpired between the club and current Premier League Champions, Liverpool FC.
Lampard’s apology has been obviously seen and acknowledged across the social media to feel remorse for his regretful action and utterances.
According to the statement, “Frank Lampard has apologised for his language after a video of the Chelsea boss arguing with the Liverpool bench was shared on social media”.
“Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has apologised for his expletive-laden row with the Liverpool bench during the Blues’ 5-3 loss at Anfield but he felt a line was crossed in the Reds’ ranks”.
“A video of Lampard and Jürgen Klopp arguing on the touchline after referee Andre Marriner awarded Liverpool a questionable free-kick for Mateo Kovacic’s challenge on Sadio Mané was widely shared on social media after the game”.
“Spirits were high among Klopp’s squad as the game was played with a temporary stage fitted in the Kop end for Liverpool to be presented with the Premier League trophy at full time”.
“After the game Lampard warned the Premier League champions against becoming “too arrogant” but has now apologised for how he went about conveying his feelings in the heat of the moment”.
“I’ve seen the video and I was obviously there,” he said. “I think in terms of the language I do regret that because these things get replayed a lot on social media, I’m aware and my daughters are on social media, so I regret that”.
“In terms of regretting having passion to defend my team, no. I could’ve maybe handled it slightly different to keep that language in”.
“What I felt was, and I want to be clear about this actually, that some of the reports were that I was upset with the celebrating of the Liverpool team. Far from it”.
“I think Liverpool should celebrate as much as they want with the season they’ve had, they can celebrate like they did after the game, like they can celebrate every goal that they score, like the celebrated when they won the league a month ago, and like they’re talking about celebrating one more time with their fans”.
“I would’ve had a beer with Jürgen Klopp after the game and toasted their performance this year, but there were things on the line that I didn’t like from their bench, not Jürgen Klopp, people behind the bench, which I felt crossed the line and that’s what got me agitated”.
“But it’s done. Emotions run high among most managers and players and fans in this game. I regret the language and move on”, Lampard concluded
