Chelsea manager, Frank Lampard, has slammed his players, including Kai Havertz following the Blues’ Premier League 2-0 defeat to Leicester City on Tuesday night.
Lampard explained that Chelsea players’ performances against Leicester were slower and sluggish, adding that they lacked confidence against the host.
Two first-half goals from Wilfred Ndidi and James Maddison gave Leicester City all three points against Chelsea at the King Power Stadium.
“We were beaten by the better team,” Lampard was quoted by Chelsea’s official website as saying after the game.
“The general theme of our performance was slower, was more sluggish, was lacking confidence but also lacking a bit of desire to run.
“That comes down to confidence at times. When a team is confident, they look like Leicester, like we did a month ago.”
Chelsea’s next match is against Luton Town in the FA Cup fourth-round tie on Sunday.
