“It’s the coaches choice, which we need to accept” – Chelsea midfielder shows elite mentality

Chelsea midfielder Jorginho had not kicked a ball for Chelsea since before lockdown until Tuesday evening when he was given the last 15 minutes. Even when both N’Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic were injured, Blues boss Frank Lampard opted to use 19-year old Billy Gilmour over the Italian international. Jorginho has shown his elite mentality and great mature attitude in his latest interview to ESPN Brazil. Whilst admitting that he doesn’t understand why he hasn’t been playing, he also reiterates that it is ‘the coaches choice’. The Italian said: “I don’t really understand it either. In fact, it’s [Lampard’s] choice, right? It’s the coach’s choice, which we need to accept and work hard to get back the opportunity to help the team, which is the most important thing. I’m doing my work, training hard, and I’ll be doing everything to be ready to give my contribution to the team in this path if they need me." When asked about his future at the club, he answered: “This is another question that I also don’t know how to answer. Honestly nothing has come to me. There are loads of rumours, but there’s been nothing [concrete]. I don’t know if anything happened between clubs, but the most important thing to me is to finish this season playing well for Chelsea and get the Champions League classification, which is our objective.” Source: chelsea-news
