Chelsea defender, Marcos Alonso, has revealed how the club’s new midfielder, Jorginho was helping them to adapt to new manager, Maurizio Sarri’s style of coaching.
The new Blues recruit has the added advantage, having played under Sarri at Napoli.
Sarri joined Chelsea this summer to replace the sacked Antonio Conte, and his first transfer action was to bring Jorginho to the club.
Full-back, Alonso has now revealed how the midfielder is giving his team-mates tips on how to cope with the Italian manager.
“He is used to playing this way, and he is going to be a great help for everybody,” Alonso told the club website.
“He is giving us tips to get used to this way of playing.
“He moves very well on the pitch, he plays with confidence, and since day one, he has looked good.”
Sacked manager, Conte was used to a three-man defence flanked by wing-backs in his time at Chelsea.
Sarri is set to thrash the three-at-the-back system and Alonso confirmed changes had already begun.
He said, “We are working on a new formation, a new style that he is asking of us. He wants us to press high, he wants the team to be together, to have possession of the ball.
“For a week, we have been training very hard and trying to learn new things.
“We are having fun. The atmosphere in the changing room is very good. The mood is fantastic and we are working very well.”
