Abdoulaye Doucoure has said working with Frank Lampard was the worst experience. He has ever had after being tarnished by mistrust and treated unfairly by the manager. Lampard
took charge at Everton in January 2022 and helped the club survive relegation that season. However, he was sacked eight days before his first anniversary in charge the following season. He
managed the Toffees for 44 games before being sacked. Playing 28 of their games and starting 18 of them, with the player missing five through injury.
However, Doucoure has admitted that working with Lampard was the worst he has ever experienced, with the former midfielder feeling he lacked faith in him.
“When Lampard came in, he came in halfway through the season. The relationship with me was great. I played in the first six months he was in charge. I started every game. หากคุณสนใจเล่นพนันออนไลน์ที่ดีที่สุด สามารถสมัครสมาชิก UFABET ได้ที่นี่ พร้อมรับโปรโมชั่นพิเศษสำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ We survived relegation two games before the end of the season. “The relationship was very good,” Doucoure said
. “I didn’t understand what happened the next season because he didn’t believe in me. It was the next season and I didn’t understand because it was the worst experience with a manager for me because, to be honest, all the managers started me, all the managers believed in me. “
Even if sometimes I didn’t start every game, I was the main player for the managers I worked with and Lampard was the only one who didn’t believe in me that much and I think he made a mistake with me, to be honest, because I work hard and I’m humble, I train hard. “
Of course he made his own decisions, I never oppose the manager’s choices but sometimes you have to make fair decisions and I don’t think he was fair to me, putting me on the bench a few games and not giving me chances. It made me unhappy with him.”
Doucoure said he did not receive an explanation from Lampard, and confirmed his drop from the first-team following an argument during the defeat at Southampton in January 2023, when he was an unused substitute.
“After a home game, he and I had a big argument. I was not happy and I told him the truth because I am a straightforward person. “And he didn’t like it at all.
“The next day they said I couldn’t be in the team. They felt I had shown him no respect in front of the other players and told me I had to train with the reserves or train alone. “
I said, ‘I’ll train alone’ because I know how to look after myself. Luckily I didn’t train alone for too long because if I remember correctly he was sacked a week later.”
