Frank Lampard: Chelsea job the biggest challenge of my career


Today Sports News:
New Chelsea boss Frank Lampard says returning to his former side as manager is the biggest challenge of his career.

The 41-year-old ex-England midfielder was appointed on Thursday by the club where he spent 13 years as a player.

Lampard had been in charge of Championship side Derby – his first job in management – for 14 months.

“I am not naive. I understand fans want success. I don’t see this as a risk. I am not fearful of the downsides,” he said.

When asked if taking charge at Stamford Bridge, where he has legendary status and is the club’s all-time leading goalscorer, will be the biggest challenge he has faced, Lampard replied: “Yes.”
He added: “Coming here 19 years ago was a challenge. I had the radio on and some people were questioning whether I should be here for £11m.

“I thought last year was a huge challenge.”
‘Not an old boys’ club’

Jody Morris, another former Chelsea midfielder, has moved from Derby with Lampard to take up the assistant coach role at Stamford Bridge.

Ex-Blues coach Chris Jones returns to the club, while former Chelsea midfielder Eddie Newton and under-23s coach Joe Edwards will also join Lampard’s backroom staff.

Former goalkeeper Petr Cech, who played for Chelsea between 2004 and 2015, returned in June as the club’s technical and performance advisor, while Lampard’s former team-mates Didier Drogba and Claude Makelele have been linked with returns.

“It’s a very Chelsea-orientated team but what I want to make clear is this is not an old boys’ club,” said Lampard.

Lampard ready to prove his worth

Lampard, who made 649 appearances for the Blues, retired from playing in February 2017 before taking his first steps in management with Derby in May 2018.

He led the Rams to sixth place in the Championship, before they were beaten 2-1 by Aston Villa in the play-off final.

Trump, in Japan, says Tokyo has ‘substantial’ trade advantage over US

President Trump on Saturday started his four-day visit to Japan by declaring that Tokyo has a “substantial” trade advantage over the U.S. — and that he hopes a future trade agreement will rebalance the situation. Trump, speaking to businessmen at the U.S. ambassador’s residence, hailed the U.S.-Japanese relationship. He said that the countries are “working together to promote mutually beneficial investment.” and that they are working on a bilateral trade deal. JAPAN WELCOMES TRUMP WITH A CHARM CAMPAIGN, GOLF AND SUMO “I would say that Japan has had a substantial edge for many, many years but that’s OK,” he said. “Maybe that’s why you like me so much. “But we’ll get it a little bit more fair,” he added. “I think we’ll do that.” Trump has made rebalancing trading relationships, particularly with China and the European Union, a priority of his administration. He has threatened Japan with tariffs on automobiles and auto parts if Japan does not give ground to the U.S. ...

Aerial photos help census officials pinpoint faraway people

Technology News : The U.S. Census Bureau is using new high-tech tools to help get an accurate population count next year as its faces challenges tallying people of color who live in remote places and can be wary of the federal government.The agency is using aerial photos of rural communities and hard-to-reach areas to verify addresses and determine where to send workers to ensure everyone is counted, Census Bureau Director Steven Dillingham said. Satellites and planes take photos, and bureau employees compare the housing captured in the images to digital maps from the last census, in 2010. It takes a fraction of the time needed by workers in the field. The agency has used geographic technology since 1990 but has never had access to such accurate tools from the air, said Deirdre Dalpiaz Bishop, head of the bureau’s geography division. That technology — known as geographic information system, or GIS — uses computers to analyze neighborhoods, land formations, rivers and oth...

Snakebites: Like having my hand smashed by a hammer’

David Williams has been bitten by a snake six times. “The first time was pretty terrifying because I didn’t know what to expect. It felt like having my hand smashed with a hammer,” he says. “My last snakebite would have been a fatal one, but for the fact we were carrying an emergency medical kit so we could do something about it.” Dr Williams, an expert on snakebites at the World Health Organization (WHO) – who travels the world collecting snake venoms to help develop new treatments – says most victims “don’t have that life-saving luxury”. The WHO calls snakebites “arguably the world’s biggest hidden health crisis”, with one person dying from a bite every four minutes. Hundreds of thousands of others are left seriously disfigured, with many needing amputations. Snakebites mainly affect people living in some of the poorest communities in the poorest parts of Africa, Asia and Latin America. Farmers risk their lives and livelihoods every day while simply tending to...
