Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri labels midfielder Jorginho a "wonderful player" following his performance against Inter Milan on Saturday.

Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has labelled midfielder Jorginho a "wonderful player" following his performance against Inter Milan on Saturday.

The former Napoli man netted the first penalty in a shootout which the Blues won 5-4 following a 1-1 stalemate after 90 minutes at the Allianz Riviera.

Speaking to Chelsea's official website, Sarri hailed the midfielder's "technical ability" and "mental speed".

"For Jorginho, this is a normal match," the manager said. "He has technical ability but Jorginho also has a great mental speed, too. So for this way of football, I think Jorginho is a wonderful player.

"All over the pitch, though, we move the ball very quickly and we moved it well tonight, but not at the right speed.

"You have to move the ball at a great speed on the floor. Otherwise, we risk to play for 90 minutes with 75% ball possession but without scoring. That's what we need to improve on."

Chelsea's next pre-season match is against Arsenal on Wednesday in Dublin.
