Why Is Jorginho So Highly Rated?
Jorginho is proactive at defensive transitions, and this can be shown by his willingness to quickly engage his opponent and counter-press. He is also good at closing behind advanced full-backs so as to delay counters.
Jorginho is known for his composure and versatility on the pitch. The 31-year-old has been praised due to his work rate, football intelligence, and ability to break down possession.
Despite being a defensive midfielder, Jorginho can also play as a central midfielder or box-to-box midfielder. However, he usually plays a more withdrawn creative role as a deep-lying playmaker in front of the back line. Former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel described him as one of the very best midfielders.
Another reason why Jorginho is highly rated is his accuracy when it comes to penalties. There is no doubt that the Italian is one of the best penalty-takers in the world at the moment. Some of Jorginho penalties have been crucial in helping Chelsea win trophies.
