‘This is why I love him, he sacrificed for the team alot’– Tuchel finally reveals why he loves Chelsea star
According to reports, Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has heaped massive praise on midfielder Jorginho, in what has been a rather difficult season for him.
However, Tuchel has admitted the Italy international has been under so much pressure for his national team games, and has also managed to sacrifice for the club.
Tuchel said: “He played injured, sacrificed for the team (this season). I think you see it now. You can never underestimate how much pressure is on playing for the national team, the country, for Italy.
“The demands are high after big success like winning the Euros. I think he really felt the pressure there, everybody for Italy felt it.
“This is normal. Sometimes after big successes, it’s very difficult to keep on going. He put a lot of responsibility naturally on his shoulders because he is never shy to do so. He is never shy to do it here, this is why I love him.”
Jorginho has had to play through injury at times this season, and even though his performances can’t be compared to last season where he was chosen as 3rd in the Ballon d’Or awards, he has given his best to the team.
