Chelsea midfielder Jorginho has recalled his matchwinning penalty struck against Leeds United last season.
Jorginho scored from the spot for the second time in the same game to give Chelsea late victory over Leeds at Stamford Bridge and go a long way to securing Champions League qualification.
He told the club's website, "I was tired and I was like 'keep focused, breathe, breathe, breathe'. Because sometimes you are tired and when you are tired, to clear your mind and try to not feel that pressure and your legs and all your body because you are tired, and stay calm and stay focused, it's hard sometimes.
"I knew how much the game meant for the Chelsea fans and in that moment before I'm thinking “it's 90 minutes, I need to score this one" and I know how much it means and how important this game is for us.
"I'm thinking all of that and the goalkeeper's telling me he knows where I'm going to shoot. So when I'm walking back, it's the moment when I'm clearing my mind and not thinking about anything else, just me and the keeper and what I'm going to do.
"The keeper's pointing telling me I'm going to go there and I'm like 'maybe, you move for me first then let's see!'
"It was just an amazing feeling celebrating when I scored. This feeling, that's why I love football so much."
