“When I have called up last year, he [Lampard] sat me down into his office and said to me I was phoned up,” he explained.
“It turned out to be a massive, massive moment for me personally. This time, he spoke to me and said,’You’ve been called again, go like you’ve been doing at Chelsea into it working hard’. So as I do , I’ve spoken to him a bit and taken stuff off him.
“When I am with him it is mostly about club soccer, focusing on what we’re doing in the Premier League. Having two talks together or one with him, he’s said it’s obviously a moment to be a symbol of your county go and revel in it.

Chelsea have picked up five points from their four Premier League games this year as Lampard frees the club by means of a move ban, while trying to integrate lots of youth players into the first team.

“It’s been a tough beginning. We have a young team – obviously we have come ,” he said. “it is a brand new team as well. But we have been working hard and it’s been a beginning we look back on and think, yeah, it’s been fine, but we are looking forward to working more.
“I believe it maybe played a role [him playing due to move embargo], but you have got to work hard to earn your starting position. The boys have achieved that and it has been a great start and we hoping to keep that moving.
“It is a significant step up [from the Championship]. You look at the league, it’s among the best leagues around the world. The amount of performance through every team is massive so it’s definitely a step up but I believe if you are prepared for that step up and prepared to enter the sport, you understand how high intensity the Premier League is, so you have got to be ready to bring every chance. Thus, it’s been a great beginning for me and I am anticipating the rest of the season.”
