Former Everton manager Frank Lampard has been asked what he thinks of former England team-mates Steven Gerrard and Paul Scholes. Frank Lampard has given his verdict on the huge dispute between Steven Gerrard and Paul Scholes in England’s midfield.
These three are certainly widely regarded as three of England’s greatest central midfielders of their generation, but the question still remains: who was the best? This is a long-standing problem.
Lampard played as part of England’s so-called golden generation but struggled to adapt to Gerrard and Scholes as part of the Three Lions midfield. During his time at Old Trafford, Scholes scored 155 goals in 718 appearances for the Red Devils. aim.
Meanwhile, former Everton boss Lampard had legendary performances at Chelsea and Manchester City, while Gerrard scored 185 goals in all competitions for Liverpool before moving to LA Galaxy in 2015.Asked for his thoughts on the debate, Lampard told the Obi One podcast: “This is a discussion I have when I’m in a taxi in London. “I played in both games against England.
They were great players, we had different attributes, we were in different situations.”I have a lot of respect for these players. If someone comes to me and says, “Frank, here’s the argument. I think Stevie Derrard is better than you. It was great. I also agree with you.”No problem, I’m happy to talk to players at this level. I know my strengths and what they’ve done and I think it’s a pointless debate.
