Jorginho

“I like playing just outside of my own penalty box, the player who receives the ball and organises the game.”

“I don't want to be special.”

“Before I receive the ball I already know how that play is developing so I'm able to give rhythm to that play.”

“I stay in the middle and my team-mates can go to attack.”

“I have my way of doing things, because I am that way, I try to raise my voice to motivate team-mates and make them aware that if they lose a ball it is not a problem, so I try to motivate my team-mates and to speak to them and, because I see the game from the back I see everything in front of me; communication on the field can help a lot.”

“Pukki has a bit of everything, which makes him a complete striker. He times his runs well, is very intelligent in his positioning, runs hard, presses opponents and never stops moving.”

“I've had tough times before. Leaving Brazil when I was so young, saying goodbye to my family and friends to go to another culture, that was so difficult.”

“There are some key words that I have learned: the first ones are humility and determination; they are fundamental to reach certain levels. I want to continue like this, working hard without ever feeling satisfied.”

“My characteristics are to control the game, stay in the middle and organise the team, but I can adapt as well.”

“The fans are entitled to have their opinion of course, to be supporters and to think whatever they like.”

“Sarri was my manager, he wasn't my friend.”

“I received a lot of criticism maybe because in England they are not accustomed to seeing a playmaker with my skills. Because I'm not a physical player but I think more about playing the ball.”

“I think Sarri has grown a lot and learned a lot in the Premier League.”

“There will always be criticism, but I remained calm and relaxed.”

“There are teams in England who play the football I like, keeping the ball on the ground, playing a quick game with one-twos, pressing their opponents high up the pitch. If one of these clubs were interested in me, I'd adapt to them well, and they could adapt to my way of playing, which isn't so common.”

“In England there are teams that play football that I like.”

“My position is one that brings balance to the team. It's a position where I'm always playing with one or two touches and I keep the rhythm of the play going.”

“Eden Hazard is someone who every time he touches the ball you feel he's going to score or pull off an amazing move.”

“I am absolutely ecstatic to be here at Chelsea. It is not easy to become part of such a big team so I am very, very happy.”

“She was the one getting me to practise football. My father has helped in other ways but my mum was the one grabbing the ball and telling me: 'Come on! Let's practise now. Let's go. Right, right, left, left.'”
