Cesar Azpilicueta says Chelsea are near achieving the levels head mentor Frank Lampard needs to see from his new group.
The Blues' pre-season results had been somehow and way worse until they beat Barcelona 2-1 on Tuesday in Lampard's fourth neighborly cum friendly match since landing from Derby.
He has supplanted Maurizio Sarri, who was notable for his unbending 4-3-3 development and ownership based style of play, and Azpilicueta says Chelsea are adjusting to Lampard's requests.
