I learnt a lot last season with intensity and aggressiveness in our system. I can help my team-mates this season,&#8221; he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/1157499\/Chelsea-Jorginho-Maurizio-Sarri-Frank-Lampard\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy characteristics are to be there and to control the game, organise the team. I stay in the middle and my team-mates can go to attack. Maybe it will mean more assists this year, maybe not.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It is looking increasingly likely that Jorginho will be deployed alongside N&#8217;Golo Kante in a double pivot, in contrast to him being the sole deep-lying playmaker in Sarri&#8217;s 4-3-3 last season.<\/p>\n<p>And having the energetic Kante next to him may well free up Jorginho to be more adventurous with the ball.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What Should Arsenal Do Next?

As a result, the 27-year-old has been the victim of some harsh treatment himself.<\/p>\n<p>However, Jorginho has insisted his relationship with Sarri was purely professional, claiming his compatriot was his manager, not his friend.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cSarri was my manager, he wasn\u2019t my friend.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1078617\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/03\/06122629\/maurizio-sarri-chelsea.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"723\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/03\/06122629\/maurizio-sarri-chelsea.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/03\/06122629\/maurizio-sarri-chelsea-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/03\/06122629\/maurizio-sarri-chelsea-768x542.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/03\/06122629\/maurizio-sarri-chelsea-66x47.jpg 66w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe worked together for four years but now this is another time, another page, another chapter, another time in my life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI look for that now.
