Frank Lampard's comments about disgraced ex-Chelsea striker Adrian Mutu jump off the page CFC
Say what you like about Frank Lampard the manager, but few would question the Chelsea legend as a person.There was one Chelsea teammate who Lampard did not likedoes not have a bad word to say about anybody – which is why his comments about disgraced ex-Blues striker Adrian Mutu jump off the page.“Scottie is the ultimate professional – never late and always well prepared – but on occasion he would travel to Harlington [Chelsea’s old training ground] with Mutu.
Despite his troubled career, Mutu remains the joint top scoring player in Romania’s history alongside Gheorghe Hagi – who is considered one of football’s greatest players ever – despite playing 46 fewer games.He justified his price tag immediately Speaking to the BBC in 2020, Mutu said: “In my first year at Chelsea I worked with Claudio Ranieri, a great coach, who wanted me in the squad.The striker appeared to be a brilliant acquisition during his first season
In fact, the Portuguese manager approached Mutu and his team with accusations of cocaine use during his first pre-season as Blues boss and ordered a drugs test, which came back negative.Mourinho’s relationship with Mutu reached boiling point after the striker miraculously recovered from a knee injury to feature in a World Cup qualifier for Romania in early October 2004.
Neither side have offered an update on the dispute in five years – but speaking in 2018, Chelsea said they were still actively pursuing the damages owed to them.Despite his shame, and another drugs ban in 2010, Mutu resurrected his career at Fiorentina in 2006 after a brief spell at Juventus.He finished his club career with more than 200 competitive goals.
