Joe Cole sees his long-term role at Chelsea in central
midfield.
Cole revealed: “I’ve been thinking about my game a lot recently.
I’ve really watched and studied the team while I’ve been out. And
now I know that my best position would be playing through the
middle in a more central role.
”People seem to have forgotten that’s where I started my career.
They all look on me as a wide man because I’ve been doing that job
for Chelsea and England for such a long time.
“But I’d love to take some of the creative burden off Frank
Lampard next season. At the moment, everything the team does as an
attacking force goes through Frank. I want to go in there and help
him out.
“Chelsea means such a lot to me and I want to be the heart and
soul of the team.
“That’s why I can’t wait for the club to appoint a new manager,
whoever that might be. Because I want to talk to him about my
role.”
