Lampard discussed a variety of topics with Rog and Davo including his first ever goal, an incident in the shower with Jose Mourinho, and what his favorite goal as a professional player was. The Men In Blazers are as funny as ever and Frank Lampard is his usual charming and affable self.
Here is the description from the Men In Blazers website:
“Just days after Frank Lampard signed with NYCFC in July, he sat down for an interview with Rog and Davo. He talked about plying his trade in America, European players’ evolving view of MLS, and that time Jose Mourinho told him he was the best player in the world … in the shower.”
Below is the video of Frank Lampard’s interview with the Men In Blazers:
Despite also signing David Villa to NYC FC, Frank Lampard is undoubtedly the face of the franchise. Lampard is one of the more recognizable faces from the Premier League and David Villa has spent the last few seasons in relative anonymity at Atletico Madrid. Lampard is still a talented player, is good looking enough to be the face of a franchise, and of course most importantly hsi first language is English.
David Villa might be used by NYC FC to appeal to the Latino or Spanish-speaking fan base in New York and across America but Lampard’s commercial appeal is more apparent. Of course all that is irrelevant if the club is not successful on the pitch but with Frank Lampard leading the way that should just be a matter of time.
