Jorginho reveals he was motivated to EMBARASS Chelsea fans who called him 'Sarri's son' when he struggled in England... but THANKS his critics for fuelling him to win the Europa League and Champions League

Chelsea midfielder Jorginho has admitted he was spurred onto his sensational year of trophies and personal accolades by using criticism from supporters as motivation.
