Ranking Maurizio Sarri's most important players at Chelsea

#1 Jorginho

The newest pass-master in the Premier League

A dyed-in-the-wool disciple of Sarrismo, the midfield metronome's upward trajectory since 2015 has been a function of his unique relationship with the one and only Maurizio Sarri

The Tuscan didn't just unlock Jorginho's potential at Napoli, he literally breathed life into the player's career and it's not surprising at all that the distinguished Centrocampista has grown into the perfect Sarri soldier

Under Antonio Conte, Chelsea were content with sitting back and playing on the counter; that's not how Sarri plays. With Jorginho dictating the tempo from the base of the midfield and at a speed often overwhelming for opponents, the blues are controlling games from the get-go, outpassing opponents, and keeping more of the ball.

Thus far in 2018-19, the Brazil-born midfielder currently leads the Premier League with the most passes, a beautiful reflection of just how important he is, and will continue to be for Sarri's Chelsea.
