Ashley Cole – what has been said
Derby boss Frank Lampard, speaking in March, said: In terms of being a winner and being around the block and bringing an experience to the group and we are quite a young group in a lot of ways this year.I just felt that, not just playing-wise because Ashley is always going to be helpful to me playing-wise, but the way he is as someone who is going to help us.And its been that way his work ethic has rubbed off instantly on the players.For the players to see someone who has won the lot, but be humble, be first in at training and working on his game by putting pressure on himself day in and day out.And then to be vocal in team meetings and speak the truth and stand up and say things in front of people has been brilliant for me to have a player that can send that message to the players.So thats been great and Ive enjoyed working with him in that sense and its not been a problem the transition from playing together and then him being a player while Im managing.Cole will be in action as Derby face Aston Villa in the Championship play-off final and it will be live on talkSPORT![Mourinho was sacked on Tuesday morning](https://talksport.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2018/12/GettyImages-643780820.jpg?strip=all&w=960&quality=100)
