<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="28" > Frank Lampard has played with many great players at Chelsea and Manchester City, as well as with the England national team. </h1>
Lampard started his career at West Ham before moving to Chelsea. There, he won 3 Premier League titles, 4 FA Cups, 2 League Cups, 1 Champions League title and 1 Europa League title, spent a season at Manchester City before ending his career in Major League New York.
He told us about his career highlights, regrets and future plans. The interviews were extensive, so we couldn't help but ask him, in his mind, who was the best player in his 20+years of football career.

First of all, both of them are great players and big winners in life, which is what sets them apart from most players.
In important games, when it is most important, it is always they who stand up and lead the team to victory. They are the foundation and guarantee of the team's victory and are the trusted leaders of other players. In my mind, they are the top two before and after, I play with them, I know them.

There is no upper limit to how much he can achieve and how much success he can achieve. He's the most talented player to play with me, it's his time, he can't be stopped.
He said he wanted to be with the best players in the world. He had such a talent. He just needs to learn the stability and consistent goals of Messi or Ronaldo and he can reach their heights.

He means a lot to Chelsea fans. Zola is the fan's favourite foreign player and it was he who led Chelsea, the first time from a civilian team, to a higher starting point. He's great on and off the pitch. A great man, a great footballer.

I haven't been at Manchester City for a long time, but I can see right away that this guy is world class. He scored terrible goals on the training ground every day and he brought those goals to the game field.
You only have to look at his goal record since coming to Manchester City to see what a great player he is and it feels great to play with him.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="54">Frank Lampard names the five best players he ever played alongside</h1>
Frank Lampard played with some amazing players for Chelsea, Manchester City and England – but he can’t choose between the two best of all.
Having started his career at West Ham, Lampard went on to win three Premier Leagues, four FA Cups, two League Cups, the Champions League and the Europa League with Chelsea before spending a season at Manchester City and then finishing his career in MLS with New York City.
He told us about his career highlights, regrets and future plans as part of a more extensive interview, but we couldn’t help but ask who he felt were the best players he took to the field with during a career that spanned more than 20 years.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="62">1. John Terry/Didier Drogba</h1>
“First and foremost they are great footballers, but they are also winners and that is what sets them apart from most players.
“In the big games, when it matters the most, these men, and that is what they are, stood up to be counted, and they are comfortably the top two I have played with for that reason.”
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="68">3. Eden Hazard</h1>
“There is no limit to how far he can go. Hazard is the most naturally gifted player I played with and on his day he is unstoppable.
“He has said he wants to be up there with the best players in the world and he has the talent to do that. He just needs to add the consistency and the goals of a Messi or a Ronaldo to be considered in that class.”
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="74">4. Gianfranco Zola</h1>
“He means so much to Chelsea fans. Of all the foreign players who came to the club at the start of the new era if you like, Zola is the one the fans loved more than any other.
“He was fantastic on and off the field. A great fella and a fantastic footballer.”
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="80">5. Sergio Aguero</h1>
“I was not at Man City for long, but straight away you could see that this guy was world-class. The goals he scored on the training pitch every day were frightening and he took that on to the field.
“You only need to look at his record since he came to City to appreciate what a class act he is and he was great to play with.”
