“We are confident in ourselves,” says Lampard ahead of Champions League test in Amsterdam

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard says he respects Ajax but does not fear them as the two sides prepare to face each other in Champions League Group H.

while Ajax, who narrowly lost to Tottenham in last season’s semi-finals, have a 100 per cent record so far this campaign, beating both Lille and Valencia by a 3-0 scoreline heading into tomorrow night’s game in Amsterdam.

Meanwhile, Chelsea are on a run of five straight wins but are currently three points behind the Dutch champions in the group having recorded one win and a draw from their opening two games.

And after Chelsea’s hard-fought 1-0 win over Newcastle United at the weekend, Lampard’s attention immediately turned to the Ajax game – with some journalists suggesting Lampard was afraid during Chelsea’s pre-match press conference.
