Jorginho aims veiled dig at Lampard’s long-ball football as Tuchel ushers in new era at Chelsea

Jorginho has aimed a veiled dig at the long-ball tactics of former Chelsea boss Frank Lampard, with the Blues midfielder claiming to be thriving as a result of Thomas Tuchel implementing a playing style that is better suited to his game and that of many around him.

Chelsea were far from being direct during the reign of a club legend, but they were prepared to go from back to front quickly when required.

Jorginho, with his creative qualities taken into account, was unable to influence proceedings as much as he would have liked, but has taken on a prominent role with Tuchel now calling the shots.
