Chelsea midfielder Jorginho admits he clicked straight away with manager Frank Lampard in preseason.

It was feared Jorginho would have no place in Lampard's side, but has instead become even more integral.

He told Gazzetta dello Sport: We got along straight away, from the pre-season training camp. There was the risk I could be considered a symbol of the previous coach, but Lampard wanted to judge me with fresh eyes.

We now play more aggressive football and making vertical passes has never been a problem for me.

"I also dedicate a portion of my training to penalties. I repeat them over and over again."
