I am just a player like everyone else.
Jorginho
There were various things behind my departure from Napoli. The will of just one party is not enough.
I have an open mind to learning new experiences.
Initially when I moved over to Italy it was really easy because I was living my dream. Everything was brand new. Then I began to get into the routine: training, school, home, home, school, training. That's all I did for 18 months. I had 20 euros to live on a week and I couldn't do anything else, because you can't with that amount of money.
My characteristics are to control the game, stay in the middle and organise the team, but I can adapt as well.
I think Sarri has grown a lot and learned a lot in the Premier League.
Eden Hazard is someone who every time he touches the ball you feel he's going to score or pull off an amazing move.
Roberto Mancini is putting his faith in me for the Nazionale and I am trying to prove on the field that I deserve that.
The little bit of my Brazilian side in Azzurri is perhaps to play more with the ball on the ground and have the tranquility to hold the ball. The idea is to have more control of the game.
The Premier League is really nice, it's wonderful. It is also quite difficult to explain certain things. You need to experience them personally to take it all in.
The Champions League is very difficult.
We have to open our minds and believe we can be better and be on the rise.
The Premier League has forced me to develop different skills.
I've had tough times before. Leaving Brazil when I was so young, saying goodbye to my family and friends to go to another culture, that was so difficult.
The recognition and praise from Guardiola, a coach so important to world football, is spectacular.
I sing the Italian anthem with all my soul, with my whole body.
There will always be criticism, but I remained calm and relaxed.
I have my way of doing things, because I am that way, I try to raise my voice to motivate team-mates and make them aware that if they lose a ball it is not a problem, so I try to motivate my team-mates and to speak to them and, because I see the game from the back I see everything in front of me; communication on the field can help a lot.
It was tough moving to Italy so young. You don't have much experience of life, you are leaving your family and everything behind to go to another country and another culture.
I have grown up as a player watching many champions like Pirlo and Xavi. I have watched them and tried to learn from how they do things.
I like to control the ball and analyse the game.
I'm really happy with my choice to be here at Chelsea.
Before I receive the ball I already know how that play is developing so I'm able to give rhythm to that play.
If there is ever a time when I don't believe in myself then that will be a problem.
Perhaps my style of play is not something that is seen in England.
I'm a very versatile player, I have covered many midfield roles but my favourite one is the centre-midfield.
I stay in the middle and my team-mates can go to attack.
My position is one that brings balance to the team. It's a position where I'm always playing with one or two touches and I keep the rhythm of the play going.
There are some key words that I have learned: the first ones are humility and determination; they are fundamental to reach certain levels. I want to continue like this, working hard without ever feeling satisfied.
It's perfect to be the same as everyone else.
Serie A will always be one of the best leagues in the world. I hope to go back one day.
Of course we believe we can always improve because the moment that you think you cannot improve anymore you go backwards.
Pukki has a bit of everything, which makes him a complete striker. He times his runs well, is very intelligent in his positioning, runs hard, presses opponents and never stops moving.
My mum has always been by my side for every decision I take.
There are teams in England who play the football I like, keeping the ball on the ground, playing a quick game with one-twos, pressing their opponents high up the pitch. If one of these clubs were interested in me, I'd adapt to them well, and they could adapt to my way of playing, which isn't so common.
I am absolutely ecstatic to be here at Chelsea. It is not easy to become part of such a big team so I am very, very happy.
I am very calm, because I know how hard I am working and how much effort I am putting in.
There are a lot of things behind a negotiation process.
I was playing in a tournament in Brazil and an agent scouted me. He took me to his soccer school. The idea was he used it to scout players and anyone he thought was good enough he took over to Italy. That's what he did with me when I was 15.
I like playing just outside of my own penalty box, the player who receives the ball and organises the game.
I'm not special. No, I'm a normal player.
The fans are entitled to have their opinion of course, to be supporters and to think whatever they like.
Sarri's football can work in England.
I'm always looking to know what I'm going to do before I receive the ball in order to make my team play better.
I think that Sarri's formation and playing with a midfield three have been fundamental for me.
I always think about the difficulties I had to make sure I don't get too comfortable.
I like to go to simple places to see people and not lose the real values of life. It's not just about money.
I received a lot of criticism maybe because in England they are not accustomed to seeing a playmaker with my skills. Because I'm not a physical player but I think more about playing the ball.
I am very happy in London and to be at Chelsea.
It's just great that I can see the fans looking at who I am, Jorginho the player, and at the same time I'm really happy to look at them and see their reaction and feel their support.
