UEFA Super Cup 2019, Liverpool vs Chelsea: Five key players to watch out for

#3 Jorginho (Chelsea)

Jorginho playing for Chelsea.

Jorginho began his career at Italian club Hellas Verona and spent 3 seasons there making 97 appearances. He moved to Napoli in 2014 and won the Coppa Italia in his first season at the club.

The 27-year-old midfielder was a part of Napoli till 2018 when he moved to Chelsea for a transfer fee of £50m with £7m in potential add-ons. He played 54 games for The Blues during the 2018-19 season behind only César Azpilcueta who made 57 appearances.

He is a composed and versatile player who can be deployed at any position in the midfield. Due to his work-rate, ability to break down possession, vision, and passing accuracy, he is usually deployed as central midfielder in a three-man midfield in a 4–3–3 formation. He is also capable of playing both in a box-to-box role or in a defensive role as a ball-winner, because of his tactical intelligence, positional sense, and ability to read the game.

Frank Lampard started with Jorginho against United on Sunday.

Jorginho played a key role in Chelsea's defensive structure against United on Sunday, stopping them from getting into the final third. He is expected to be a vital factor again on Wednesday against Liverpool.
