Former Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard has praised Steven Gerrard and has lauded him as the best midfielder he has played with in his football career.
Lampard is one of the most decorated midfielders ever to have donned the Chelsea shirt. The central midfielder has appeared in over 600 games for the West London side. He played with Gerrard for the Three Lions but has failed to win any major honours for his country.
They have also faced each other numerous times while representing their respective teams in the Premier League. Both the players retired from MLS as Gerrard decided to hang his football boots after his contract ended with LA Galaxy while Lampard chose to put a full stop after appearing for New York City FC.
Lampard said,
“Steven Gerrard, in the Premier League. He had everything.
“If you got him on his day, you can almost forget about it because he was so powerful. Particularly when you used to go up to Anfield, you knew whether Stevie was on his game in the first three minutes because he’d crash through someone.
“But he had everything … other than the aggressive side, obviously he had top ability. He was a great midfield player.”
