Ivobi: Lampard is the coach who has influenced me the most, and he has brought me back to life during Everton

May 21, Fulham midfielder Ivo said in an interview with the InsideScoop program that when he was told that he would be loaned out, it was Lampard who helped him regain his life.

■When asked which coach had the greatest influence on him

Ivobi said without hesitation: "Absolutely choose Lampard. Lampard saved my career. I was sent off with a red card in one African Cup. After returning to the team, Benitez informed me to prepare for loan. I was in a very bad shape at that time, but then Besieged left office. After Lampard took office, he also suggested that I go to the foreign league to exercise."

"I immediately refused: 'I don't accept it, I would rather leave a competitive position.' Lansie gave everyone a chance. I performed very well in training, and he asked: 'Since training is If you can do it, why can't the game be? 'I explained: 'The coaches asked me to pass the ball first and then run. '"

"Lampard said: 'No, play the way you do. ' Then he arranged me in the midfield, the ball-handling area I'm best at, and encouraged: 'Release yourself and be the real you. 'It was with this trust that my career was restarted. It can be said that Lampard coaching was my peak moment. 'The time Lampard coached Everton was regrettable, but for Ivobi, it was a turning point in his career. Ivobi's time at Everton was a tough time for the team, but he believes it is crucial for his development, with the 29-year-old now thriving in the Premier League again.
