Jorginho Says He Wants to Be Known for Playing with Chelsea, Not Maurizio Sarri

Chelsea midfielder Jorginho is eager to prove himself at Stamford Bridge following the departure of Maurizio Sarri.

The player was key for Sarri at Napoli, and the Blues announced his arrival last year on the same day they appointed Sarri as manager.

He told Esporte Interativo (h/t MailOnline's Matt Porter):

"I was a little sad seeing people thinking I arrived here only because of [Sarri].

"I arrived here because of my hard work, my day to day work, my sacrifices.

"It's a challenge for me to show the fans that thanks to my work it's why I got here.
