The club started yet another campaign with a new manager at the helm after Maurizio Sarri left for Juventus and his successor, Lampard, has had to deal with a transfer embargo.<\/p>\n<p>This has seen the Blues unable to purchase new players with the club forced to play some of their young players rather than bring in additional options from elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>Jorginho has started both their games in the top flight this season and Lampard believes the former Napoli man has shown key leadership qualities, having previously had his role in the team questioned supporters.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Can Raheem Sterling be Top Goalscorer? w\/Jamie Jackson and Sam Lee\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/g8-k6cnP3wA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Subscribe to <a href=\"http:\/\/sqwk.at\/Squawka-Sub\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Squawka\u2019s Youtube channel here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Speaking ahead of the Leicester game, the Chelsea boss <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goal.com\/en-gb\/news\/he-is-a-driver-of-the-group-lampard-praises-jorginhos\/1jzn2phallkkm1uontbcwrkbhq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a>: &#8220;I thought Jorginho was fantastic the other night [vs Liverpool in the Uefa Super Cup.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He was constantly talking to people around him and constantly talking to the backline to drag them up and playing with quality.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The players are the ones who drive that when they get out there. He is a fantastic player. I saw that on the first day of training in Dublin. Talking about his attitude, he is a driver of the group and he has real quality. I am fortunate in midfield at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It gives us problems in terms of competition between [N&#8217;Golo] Kante, Jorginho, [Matteo] Kovacic, [Ross] Barkley, [Mason] Mount, Ruben [Loftus-Cheek]\u00a0is coming back and others.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But Jorginho has really shown himself to be a top-quality player to me already. I am pleased to see his comments. He should be seen as Chelsea&#8217;s Jorginho.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As a player, you know that you go and work for the club. He has a real passion for football and performance.
