The 34-year-old made only six Premier League appearances that season, as Sarri opted for a three-man midfield with Jorginho being the focal point.<\/p>\n

Fabregas however praised Jorginho ahead of Italy\u2019s 3-0 win over Turkey in their Euro 2020.<\/p>\n

He said on BBC One: \u201cOne of the biggest reasons I left Chelsea is because of him (Jorginho).<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a very smart player, intelligent, a very good passer of the ball. The only thing I can say about him sometimes is he releases the ball too quickly when he can play forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe makes the team tick.\u201d<\/p>\n
