In the world of English football, Glen Johnson has backed former teammate Frank Lampard to guide Coventry City into the Premier League this season. Johnson, who played alongside Lampard at Chelsea for three years and also represented England with him, expressed confidence in Lampard’s ability to achieve promotion if the team maintains its strong form.
