Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has again sung the praises of Jorginho.

Jorginho has been pilloried by fans last season.

But Lampad says, From watching Chelsea closely last year, I thought he finished the season brilliantly.

If there was a tough time with the fans, what is really easy is to hide. The thing I noticed from the outside last year is that he never hid.

"He never hid from receiving the ball on the edge of his own box or a tight area. He was always there to receive it. And he played really well during the run-in, I thought, for Chelsea.

That's a sign of his own character and, again, that's what the fans will applaud and long may it continue. I love them singing every player's name because every player should be giving them reason to.

I think as a top player, which I think he is, there are lots of moments where you have to deal with something where you feel it's unjust. In my career I had moments at West Ham a long time ago and internationally with England.

When I talked about him not hiding from the ball, that is the key element: you need to believe in yourself, stand up and play. That's what he does."
