Chelsea won only one game during that time and finished the season in 12th place. Several players had underwhelming performances, and many of them subsequently left the club.
Lampard found it challenging to select a team when he observed that many players had a negative attitude. He explained that he saw their body language and realized they were already focused on their future elsewhere. This made his job difficult.
With significant player turnover already occurring this summer and more expected, Chelsea fans can expect a committed group of players for the upcoming season. The focus now shifts to identifying the players needed to help the club regain its competitiveness.
