Goalscorer Jorginho on Chelsea's win, his penalty technique and remaining humble

-

It was an emphatic penalty from Jorginho which separated both Chelsea and Tottenham on Thursday night, after the game the midfielder spoke about his new technique for taking a penalty as well the team's hard and humble work since the arrival of Thomas Tuchel to Chelsea.

You wouldn't have known that the last 2 of Jorginho's 5 penalties have been saved this season, such was the efficiency in which he dispatched his penalty kick in North London.

Somewhat of a surprise considering Chelsea's dominance throughout the game, Jorginho's strike from 12 yards out was the only goal of the game leaving Chelsea's vice-captain to reflect on a terrific away win.

'It's a great feeling' says Jorginho.

'We worked very hard. We knew it would be a difficult game, it was a great London derby against a very good side. We thoroughly deserved the win. 

'The first half was excellent. We created lots of chances and could and probably should have scored more goals. We should have made better choices in the last few minutes of the game, that's an area we can improve on, we just need to make sure we keeping working the way we are and and we will see the results of our hard work.'

Jorginho added 'I felt okay before taking the penalty'

'I have kept working on my penalties, kept training, and I felt confident. My reason for changing my technique was because I felt this way to take a penalty would be better for me, and it worked  from the result you saw.'

Jorginho has started under Tuchel in each of the head coaches three games in charge and looked rather comfortable in the midfield pivot. The tempo was dictated by the Italian international last night and believes that Tuchel's new strategy is paying instant dividends.

'The message on what he expects from me is perfectly clear' Jorginho explained.

'We needed to be open-minded to understand what he wanted as quickly as possible as we had no time to waste.'

'When you are in a team with guys who are open to new ideas, to learn , to improve, and everyone has the same targets, then it is easy to work. Our group of players were very humble in accepting what he was coming to give us.'

'It is important that we remain humble and never think that it is enough. We haven't achieved anything. It is when you feel comfortable that you begin to drop . We must stay calm, carry on working hard and we will see the results as a consequence of what we are doing every day.'

Mason Mount and Thomas Tuchel following Chelsea's 0-0 draw with Wolves  There will have been eyebrows raised when Thomas Tuchel did not select Mason Mount in his first starting line-up however the new boss is is already seeing the enormous ability and passion that the midfielder possesses.  Tuchel painfully pointed that his team selection against Wolves may well have been the most unfair in his reign at Chelsea when you consider he only had one training session which to work with his new players.  The decision made to omit Mount , a regular starter in all but two league games up to that point and most noticeably Chelsea's main in form player was always likely to be met with raised eyebrows, however, Tuchel simply insisted that he simply chose to play experience during a difficult time. He is however, now excited to help the 22 year old midfielder flourish.  At today's press conference the German said 'I currently like what I am seeing from Mason so far, he has an amazin

Chelsea make three changes from the midweek game in Romania against Atletico Madrid  There are returns for Ben Chilwell, Hakim Ziyech and N'Golo Kante to Thomas Tuchel's side as Chelsea welcome Manchester United to Stamford Bridge for this afternoons game. The trio to miss out are Marcos Alonso, Jorginho and Timo Werner who all drop to the bench. This means the Olivier Giroud will lead the line up front following his brilliant performance in Romania on Tuesday, with the attacking support being provided by both Mason Mount and Hakim Ziyech. The goalkeeper and the back three remain unchanged with Edouard Mendy protected at the back by Cesar Azpiliqueta, Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger. The wing-backs will be Ben Chilwell and Callum-Hudson-Odoi, with Matteo Kovacic partnered by Kante in the centre of midfield.

Thomas Tuchel saw a run of five wins in a row come to an end as Chelsea drew 1-1 in today's lunchtime kick-off against Southampton, however the subject of much of Thomas Tuchel's analysis after the game was the sharpness required to score goals to win a game whilst keeping it tight defensively. Thomas Tuchel on the touchline during Chelsea's 1-1 draw at Southampton Tuchel saw his side go behind for the first time in the seven games that he has been in charge as head coach when Southampton scored on the counter attack in the first half. A penalty in the second half from Mason Mount secured a point for Chelsea. Despite Chelsea conceding their first goal scored by an opposition player under Tuchel, the German was very content with the way that his team played at St Mary's apart from Chelsea's work in and around the penalty area. Tuchel regretfully said 'we created opportunities which in the end were not opportunities'.  'We opened up a lot of space for our
