Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard admits his relationship with manager Andre Villas-Boas isn't the best. Lampard did not want to dwell on any problems the pair might have had, however.
He said of their relationship: "I think, from the outside, you can probably see that it's not been ideal but the important thing is not to focus on individual relationships too much.
Speculation about dressing-room unrest has been rife of late, amid reports Lampard was not the only senior player who did not see eye to eye with Villas-Boas.
Lampard added: "There have been certain issues. Certain players, we don't like not to play. But it's never a case of players throwing their toys out of the pram to the detriment of the club.""It can only be negative and people do like to play on negatives."
