Why Kante's France disappointment shows Jorginho's importance for Chelsea - explained by fan

N'Golo Kante leaves Euro 2020 disappointed as his star-studded France team has been knocked out of the tournament by plucky underdogs from Switzerland.

Their partnership with Paul Pogba was highly praised during the group stage but they couldn't keep things under control as Switzerland scored twice for the game to go to the extra time.

According to teamyosh, a Chelsea fan on Reddit, this should be a message to the Blues about the importance of the players who help N'Golo to be at his best - and Jorginho is very much high up that list.

Here's what the fan writes: "We just saw our ultimate fireplug, the man in the middle, N'Golo Kante, struggle mightily alongside a world-class midfielder in Paul Pogba. To the tune of getting pretty much shredded defensively by Switzerland, of all teams.

"Pogba looked stellar at times in the attack, with some wonderful through balls. No doubt about that.

"But that match made me realize how important a role J5 plays in our side, allowing Kante to be the UCL final MOTM other-worldly calibre player that we know him to be.

"And it especially makes me thankful for Tuchel to understand exactly what he has in Kante and to utilize a scheme that extracts his very best, unlike what we saw under Frank (no disrespect to the club legend whatsoever).

"Bottom line is, while being an imperfect and sometimes frustrating player to watch, the control that J5 brings to the base of our central midfield is so critical to unlocking the true talents of Kante."
