UEFA Europa League: Can improving Jorginho turn jeers into cheers for Chelsea?

After going a goal down in the first leg of their 2018-19 UEFA Europa League semi-finals against Eintracht Frankfurt, a few Chelsea players pulled up their socks for good. While Jorginho was one of them, it was a Pedro Rodriguez goal that salvaged a 1-1 draw.

With the tie wide open, the focus would be on Jorginho, easily the most divisive player at Chelsea ever since he joined the club along with head coach Maurizio Sarri.

At the Waldstadion last week, Jorginho's performance on the night reflected the curve in his Chelsea career this season.
