I cant say its above winning the Champions League because we arent there yet and havent won promotion.Winning the Champions League was an incredible feeling as a player, you cant get any higher than that.In terms of the different type of job Ive had to do with the responsibility, which is much more taxing than being a player, means the feeling and sensation is right up there with those big nights you talk about.Getty2

John Terry is current assistant manager at Aston Villa

Lampard will go up against former Chelsea team-mate John Terry on Monday, who is assistant manager at Villa.It is just one of a number of links to their former club with young Blues players on loan at both respective clubs.I have appreciated that a lot of Chelsea fans have supported us, Lampard added. I know they love seeing the younger players do so well. Now we come up against JT and the boys and it levels out slightly. Im delighted to go up against John and Dean (Smith). I have huge respect for Dean as a manager and John as well. If there is anyone we are going to up against, so be it. Hopefully we win and if we dont I will shake their hands and wish them very well with the connection weve got. We are both trying to do the same thing and be successful.This game is a bit of a crucial moment obviously. Im pleased Im going up against someone like John as it means hes had a great year.
