Chelsea's England midfielder Frank Lampard is happy with his current form for both club and country, having impressed in the country's recent 4-1 World Cup qualifying win in Croatia.

The 30-year-old has also been on top form for his club this term and has praised new Blues boss Luiz Felipe Scolari for helping him get back on track.

Lampard told reporters: "I'm very focused this year and I want to improve again and move on again.

"The personal break I had in the summer was great, to get away from football for a month.

"The whole contract thing is definitely a weight off my shoulders. That's great for me. Not only did I get bored with it, I think everybody got bored reading about it.

"The new manager has been a breath of fresh air for the club and I just feel very focused and confident. When I feel like that I feel I can improve more.

"We are playing good football and it's enjoyable to play.

"I am playing some good stuff myself, but it is really helped being surrounded by players who are all moving the ball quickly and we are starting to dominate games.

"I'm big enough to say that for the last couple of years I haven't done as well as I should have done for England and after Croatia this is a start for me to kick on again and show the sort of form I feel I can."
