Chelsea midfielder Jorginho says he's happy playing under manager Thomas Tuchel.

Jorginho was in and out of the team under Lampard and was heavily linked with a move to Juventus last summer.

The deep-lying playmaker is relishing his renaissance in west London and credits Tuchel with implementing a pleasing possession-based style in contrast to a long-ball approach.

Jorginho told Chelsea's official website : “The coach wants us having control of the game, playing from behind, even when the pressure comes.

“So, for me, it's a good way to play football that I like and enjoy, and I think it's better for my characteristics than playing long balls, and second balls.

“When it's Kova [Mateo Kovacic], his style is to play short, to come, so I know if he wants to play one-two or when he wants some space to move forward and to dribble.

“So, I just try to help him, either give him the space, or come over to help him and give him an option – whatever he needs to get out of the situation."
