Lampard has no intention of retiring from international football
June 29th, 2010 - 6:47 pm ICT by ANILondon, Jun 29 (ANI): Frank Lampard has no intention of retiring from international football following England’s exit from the 2010 World Cup.
Lampard will be 36 by the time of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and several other key members of the present squad, including Steven Gerrard and John Terry, are also already over 30.
“I want to carry on with England. I think there will be a lot of talking, not just about me,” The Guardian quoted Lampard, as saying.
“It’s important players go away and don’t listen to it and concentrate on our jobs now. The talk is great for the people who are involved in that sort of thing but it doesn’t actually make any difference,” he said.
“We’ll try and carry on, that’s what we have to do. Only one team wins the World Cup and the rest go home at some stage and don’t win it so the talking is by the by. We’ll have to come back and try and perform,” Lampard added.
Asked if there should be major changes, Lampard said: “You know what, I don’t really want to talk about it at the moment. We will worry about that when we start again.” (ANI)
