A lot can ride on Chelsea’s next two games, especially if they can take advantage of Liverpool losing to Leicester City this week by beating Brighton tonight.
Jorginho though, says that it is all about gaining confidence in these games rather than the points, and he says that he prefers to be the underdog and allow the pressure to be on other teams.
I do get his point here, and to be honest Chelsea always play better as the underdog, but we all know how important it is at Chelsea to be challenging for titles so the points must still be a big priority for us in these games.
“Those games [Manchester City and Liverpool] are about building confidence, not about the points,” said Jorginho to the Chelsea website.
“The season is long, and the Premier League is the hardest championship in the world so anything can happen, but it’s more about confidence.
“I prefer to be the underdog and let people talk about others and we just keep working and pushing, and in the end we will see where we can be.
“I knew a difficult time would always come during the season, and it’s more about how you deal with it,’ added the 30-year-old of an up-and-down December.
“We did the right thing, kept working and working and helping each other to get out of that situation, and now we still have a lot to do.”
