Maurizio Sarri's arrival from Napoli has been more than just a revelation for the Blues, as he has completely flipped the way Chelsea used to function under Antonio Conte, bringing back the famous possession-based football system and the good ole' 4-3-3 formation that enables playmaking. His first signing? Well, we all saw it coming as the holding midfielder from Napoli was bought to the Stamford Bridge almost immediately.

His arrival has bought a lot more than what Chelsea can cherish, as he now lies in the middle of the Chelsea machinery playing as a holding midfielder, allowing the likes of N'golo Kante to move forward and take up a more aggressive role for his team.

While being a defensive midfielder is a specialty, the Italian can also play as a central midfielder. It looks like Jorginho is one of Sarri's favorite and will continue to follow him wherever he goes.
