DBasia.news – Chelsea manager, Frank Lampard, highly praised Jorginho’s role in maintaining the quality of the Blues’ midfield. According to him, Jorginho was a leader in the team.
Lampard did not appear to have the intention to kick out Jorginho since being appointed as Chelsea coach in July. In contrast, the Italian man has continued to be trusted to control the Blues’ midfield.
Lampard did not even shift Jorginho’s position, who stood in front of four defenders, although a number of parties thought that position was better played by N’Golo Kante.
In his most recent interview Lampard revealed how impressed he felt with Jorginho’s strong character.
“He continues to talk to the players around him. “He also constantly talks to our back line to improve them and play with quality,” said Lampard as quoted by Goal.
“The players who determine when they are on the field. He is a fantastic player. I saw that on the first day of training in Dublin. Speaking of his attitude, he is the leader of this group and he has qualities. I am lucky (regarding the availability of players) in midfield at this time. “
“This gives us problems in terms of competition between Kante, Jorginho, (Matteo) Kovacic, (Ross) Barkley, (Mason) Mount, Ruben (Loftus-Cheek) coming back and there are others too. But Jorginho really showed himself as a high quality player in my eyes. I am glad to see his comments. He must be seen as Chelsea’s Jorginho. “
“As a player, you know that you play and work for the club. He has a great passion for football and his performance. I like that.”
