New Chelsea boss Frank Lampard says the club's expectations will remain as big as ever.
There's been a suggestion the pressure will be eased due to the club's transfer ban.
He told Chelsea TV: "I think expectations at Chelsea will always remain - from the outside, because of what the club's done in the last 15 years, in the Roman Abramovich era for sure.
"I liked that. I enjoyed that as a player, I enjoyed the pressure of expectation.
"And it changes, there are different circumstances. We had years where we had great success, some years where we didn't have so much. But the standards have to keep rising, year after year.
"That's not just on the pitch stuff, that's daily. That's players, that's staff, that's everyone around the club.
"I will try and push that, when you are in charge you have to push it, people go off you and your standard, and if I can try and show that and what I want then hopefully we'll do well."
