5 reasons why Chelsea will not lift the Premier League title in 2018-19

#4 Jorginho’s physicality

Manchester City v Chelsea

Sarri has signed his kingpin from Napoli - Jorginho, to help implement his style of play at Chelsea. Jorginho is one of the best passers of the ball in the world right now. His pass frequency and pass completion rates are unmatched. He can find his man anywhere on the pitch, and this will be a major asset for Chelsea.

He is not the fastest or most physical player though. This was exploited by Manchester City, the same team who were close to signing him. He was dominated and stifled successfully by the Manchester City midfield. He will need Kante’s protection to flourish, and it remains to be seen if they can gel together in a long season.
