Melanicus 5,208 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Bonjour!As you know (or maybe not), I'm training football and a lot of coaches said I have really similar style of playing like Frank Lampard does. I also wear number 8 and it's big praise for me, because he's my role model. I'm playing as CAM/CM of my team and I have role of box to box or creative midfileder.I'm average at dribbling, nothing special, only few skill moves. I rather pass than dribble.My ball controll is pretty good, I use both foots, right is stronger one.My passing is awesome, short passes and mostly long passes are one of my best traits. My vision is outstanding.I mostly shoot from distance, because I have powerful long shot. I can also hit great volleys.Tackling, hmm, it's not so good, but I can tackle. Standing better than sliding of course.Heading is probably my worst side, I just can't stand hitting ball with head lol.I'm not so strong, but agressive and it gives me more strength. I have good pace, but I can't run fast for a lot of time.I'm good tactician, also captain of my team and I discuss tactics with our coach. I'm consistant performer and my team mates can rely on me. I get yellow (and red) cards, because of arguing with refrees and when someone pisses me off.So, what to do to play more similar to Frank Lampard? Answer carefuly, maybe next Chelsea star is rising.

manpe 10,861 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 well, Lamps rarely argues with refs and other players, he's a model professional... you can start from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amblève. 4,995 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I used to try playing like Lamps too. One thing I always tried to copy was the shooting technique of Lampard, as it's a very important part of his game IMO. So at the age of 12 I started to study his shooting ability, nothing more than watching millions of YT videos, but in the end it was probably the most important and intensive practice I've ever done to develop my personal game. When I was about 14 or 15 years old my coach said I really should consider attending a try-out of LAZ (football youth organisation in Austria) and I did. I was picked and given a contract, which I didn't want to sign because there were several other things I wanted to focus on. Yep, I wasted my possible football career...I'm just telling you this because everybody said that I have a very similar playing style to Lampard and Gerrard, mainly because of my attacking skills, especially because of my shooting.As I said before, try to practice your shooting technique if you really want to play like Lamps does. FK shooting, corners and long distance shots. I don't know if this will be very good for your own development and if it suits to you, because mainly everybody has its own style, but if you can really accomplish to shoot the ball like Lampard, you'll have a great weapon.Try to practic you stamina too, if you have enough time to do that, your overall game will benefit a lot from it.AND: penalty shooting! It's one of Lampard's best attributes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
termninja 5,290 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Celebrate your goals like this BTW a lot of people have said the same to me, and my own play style reminds me of Lamps a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
communicate 2,703 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 There are two moves that I saw really special in frank's game:- his timing in term of arriving late into the box - When a winger receive a ball in the edge of the box, Lampard used to run to to the byline to give the winger more option and also give opposite fullback something to think about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary gordon 1,777 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I've noticed Lampard likes to receive the ball with his back to the opposition. He keeps it at his feet and usually waits for the other player to commit and turns the opposite way. Work on your short sprints so that when a winger crosses into the box you can time your run to perfection. In defense, stay with player but don't commit straight away. Jockey him until you can turn your body into his and use that to take the ball.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 A good idea, also, is to practice taking free-kicks but deliberately hitting the wall every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bababoom 4,478 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 When you shoot do not aim for goal, aim for the defender than hopefully it will deflect of him and go in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 When you score, run towards the fans, kiss the badge, punch the air, and show some spirit!! ... the other players need to follow suit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,314 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 All of the above and hit the first man at every corner you take.A penchant for pies in your early years.A sordid tape of you and two other players filmimg a wags private parts, again at the start of your career, when you can clearly be heard saying ''shove it up her fanny'' also helps.
