Jorginho happy to have silenced Chelsea critics and be viewed in ‘a different light’

The Italy international midfielder failed to win over everyone in his debut campaign, but those at Stamford Bridge are now embracing his qualities

Jorginho has expressed his delight at winning over his critics at Chelsea, with the Italy international showing what he is all about during a second season at Stamford Bridge.

The Brazil-born midfielder arrived in west London alongside former Napoli boss Maurizio Sarri in the summer of 2018.

Strong ties between player and coach were expected to deliver rich rewards, but Jorginho failed to convince everybody after being handed a holding role previously filled by N’Golo Kante.
