Frank Lampard gives credit to Liverpool’s Salah for leaving Chelsea

-
Chelsea legend Frank Lampard has given credit to Mohamed Salah for leaving the Stamford Bridge outfit to rejuvenate his form in the Italian Serie A.

In his first stint in the English top-flight, the 25-year-old managed to score just two goals in 13 league appearances for Blues before joining Fiorentina on loan in 2015.

The left-footed forward later spent two years with Roma where he notched 29 goals in 65 league outings before joining the Reds this summer for a club-record fee of £36.9million.
"There shouldn’t be too much finger pointing [at Chelsea]," Lampard told BTSport.


 "I was there with Salah, he was young.
"It was probably an early stage in his career, it didn’t work for him, he went away and did well.
“(Kevin) De Bruyne was in the same situation.

“It’s very hard - Chelsea had an abundance of talent in those positions at that time.
“So I’d rather focus on the player. Credit to them for going away, working hard and coming back.“He’s now got more personality and a feeling of deserving to be there."

Remy Ma is savage. Anyone who wants to fight her had better be ready. The rapper has exposed old text messages her colleague and rival Azaelia Banks sent to a friend. In the messages, Azealia talked about getting labioplasty to make her vagina look presentable because, according to her, hers looks tough and rough. In the message, Azealia also dissed Nicki Minaj and said everyone stopped taking her serious when she slept with Meek Mill. She said Nicki will have to get the scent of that dirty Philly dick (Meek Mill) off her before anyone will take her seriously. Remy Ma followed the screenshots with a very savage caption and she made sure to tag Azealia in the post. She said: “When I came home it was nothing. It was tumbleweeds blowing through as far as female artists is concerned." Remy Ma felt slighted by this and called Remy Ma out. She also told Remy that Nicki Minaj was better than her. Azealia wrote: "Remy – the hottest things you’ve released since you’v...
