This Chelsea Star Is Putting Up N’Golo Kante Numbers in 2 Key Defensive Stats
Chelsea News: Jorginho Is quietly having a very good season
Jorginho has been one of Chelsea’s most consistent performers this season, and his defensive stats are starting to match those of N’Golo Kante.
In the Premier League, Jorginho ranks second in tackles per game (3.3) and interceptions per game (2.2), behind only Kante in both categories.
These numbers show that Jorginho is not only a good passer of the ball, but he is also a very good tackler and interceptor.
How Jorginho’s defensive stats compare to Kante’s
Here is a table that compares Jorginho’s defensive stats to Kante’s in the Premier League this season:
Player | Tackles per game | Interceptions per game |
---|---|---|
Jorginho | 3.3 | 2.2 |
Kante | 3.8 | 2.5 |
As you can see, Jorginho’s defensive stats are very close to Kante’s. This is impressive, considering that Kante is one of the best defensive midfielders in the world.
What does this mean for Chelsea?
Jorginho’s impressive defensive stats are a good sign for Chelsea. It means that they have two world-class defensive midfielders in their squad. This will make them very difficult to beat, especially in big games.
Jorginho’s form is also a good sign for Italy. He is likely to be a key player for them at the World Cup in Qatar later this year.
