Frank Lampard is not bothered by the song Leeds United fans serenaded him with, insisting his only priority is taking Derby to the Championship play-off final.
In the semi-final first leg at Pride Park on Saturday, the travelling supporters used Oasis’ ‘Stop Crying Your Heart Out’ to sing ‘All of our spies are hidden away… Stop crying Frank Lampard’, in reference to the ‘spygate’ scandal.
Leeds were fined £200,000 after being caught spying on Derby earlier in the season and, asked if the song bothers him, Lampard said: “No, of course not, it is good fun,” though he did manage a little jab at his rivals.
“I think being a Chelsea player there was always a rivalry with Leeds. I didn’t play them that much because we were in the Premier League, but that comes with it.
“I certainly will take the song all day long. My worry is what the players do on the pitch.”

In the first leg, Kemar Roofe scored his 15th goal of the season, producing an excellent first-time finish from Jack Harrison’s cross to give Marcelo Bielsa’s side a crucial 1-0 advantage.
Lampard will have been unhappy with his side’s performance as they failed to muster a single shot on target, but has said the semi-final tie is far from over.
“It’s going to be a tough match, a big atmosphere,’ he said. ‘We have to be a bit more composed. I’ll back the players. I want them to come off the pitch having given everything. It’s a stadium with history.

“They need to rise to that. There is pressure for both teams, no matter which way you look at it.
“Leeds were looking at automatic promotion at one point, now they’re in the play-offs.
“These are the matches the players, when they were young boys, were dreaming about. Not the mundane ones we can play with a lot more ease. These are the games that will define us.
“This is far from over. We have to be at it. There is a quality and resilience in this group. I won’t get caught up in revenge. I don’t care about previous. It’s about can we get to Wembley? I’m not expecting flaky Leeds.
