Lampard is absurdly consistent. Even his interviews are always the same:
Serious point, light-hearted point [chuckle] but, no, serious point
Good transition from Lamps here, gently parachuting back into seriousness after addressing the immediate goodwill

The ol& #39; one-two
We go again, this doesn& #39;t slip
sigh
Possibly the smoothest, most effortless transition yet: 8/10
Bold move from Lampard, as he goes for the unprecedented lighthearted-point-serious-point-lighthearted-point-serious-point combination.

Great to see Getty Images recognising a one-man cultural phenomenon

The Lampardian Transition here is so imperceptible, it& #39;s like street magic https://twitter.com/Zonal_Marking/status/1272630842351931392">https://twitter.com/Zonal_Mar...
Slightly rusty, which is understandable, but the new normal - as they say! - is rather like the old normal, really, isn& #39;t it
Some compelling evidence here that the Lampardian Transition might actually be remotely operated by the press of a button on a Stamford Bridge laptop
A whole year of building, all that hard work in the press room, all comes down to this: this is perfection. Liquid Lampard. The Carlos Alberto vs Italy 1970 of Lampardian Transitions.
