The biggest threat to Chelsea this season? It's not Man City. It's not Liverpool. In fact, it's not any of the club's Premier League rivals, not in the eyes of Jorginho, at least. The Italian has been at Stamford Bridge long enough to know better.
"Chelsea's biggest opponent is Chelsea," explained the 30-year-old in an interview with Sky Italia. "If we don't fight, if we don't do better last year, if we don't improve, if we are not humble to recognise where we went wrong and do better, what are we talking about?"
The 2022/23 campaign will be Jorginho's fifth as a Chelsea player; the previous four have certainly been eventful. There have been trophies, criticism, three different head coaches, and constant speculation over his future, although the midfielder's agent has largely fueled that.
