Kai Havertz, a Chelsea attacker, has expressed his joy at sharing a dressing room with Blues teammate Jorginho.
Since Thomas Tuchel took over as manager of Chelsea last year, Jorginho has been an important player. Under the German, the midfielder has made 65 appearances in all competitions, scoring 13 goals and providing five assists.
Last season, the 30-year-old helped the Blues win the UEFA Champions League, and the following summer, he was a key figure in Italy's European Championship triumph. He finished third in the 2021 Ballon d'Or rankings and won the UEFA Men's Player of the Year award for his club and country's efforts.
Jorginho has received acclaim from many corners for his contribution to the Chelsea and Italy squads over the previous year. Havertz is the most recent player to laud the centre midfielder.
Havertz praised the Italy international as one of his favourite teammates. The 22-year-old forward continued by emphasising the significance of his relationship with Jorginho in the Blues squad. According to Chelsea's official website, he said: "We all know that he [Jorginho] has won nearly every trophy there is, and he is one of the best players I've ever played alongside. I enjoy his style of play, and I always know what he intends to do when he gets the ball."
"As a striker or midfielder, it's critical to have someone behind you who understands what you're trying to do. I enjoy both watching and participating in his games."
Jorginho is a central midfielder who is rarely involved in Chelsea's offensive. In recent weeks, though, he appeared to be establishing a partnership with Havertz.
Since March, Havertz has reached the back of the net six times for the Blues. It's worth mentioning that Jorginho assisted on two of those goals.
How has Jorginho performed this season for Chelsea?
Jorginho has appeared in 41 games for the London club this season. During that time, he has scored nine goals and supplied four assists.
The importance of the Italian to the Blues has been emphasised by the fact that he has captained the team multiple times this season. He also assisted Tuchel's side in winning the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup this season.
Next month, Jorginho will have another chance to win a trophy with the Blues. Tuchel and his team will meet Liverpool in the FA Cup final on May 14 at Wembley.
