Chelsea star opens up on how he was racially abused after Frank Lampard’s dismissal
Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger has opened up on how he was racially abused by fans after Frank Lampard was sacked as the manager of the club.
Frank Lampard was dismissed as Chelsea manager after just 18 months as his team failed to impress in the Premier League despite qualifying for the Champions League round of 16 unbeaten.

The German international in a new interview with the club website have now revealed how he was racially abused on social media.
Rudiger stated that he has been in the club into his fourth season and have had four different coaches, with Tuchel now, and it was never talked about when Sarri left the club or when Conte left the club that players were involved or something like this.
The former Roma defender noted that his conscience is clear as he knows who he his and he knows he did not do all that nonsense that came out.
According to Rudiger, he is very free and open for every new coach, as he was open also for Lampard.
Rudiger added that he cannot control people’s emotions but people should be human as he didn’t post anything but the racial abuse was immense.
