Journalist Gianluca Di Marzio today features on his website an interview with Arsenal midfielder Jorginho.
Even though the Italian media is often sharing stories about the transfer rumours surrounding the player and quizzing him and his agent about a comeback to Serie A, this time they had a conversation that was more focused on his season with the Gunners.
Jorginho has been struggling a little to get into Arsenal’s team lately, as Mikel Arteta only gave him 31 minutes on the pitch this season, and is still to include the 31-year-old in a starting lineup. The midfielder claims he’ll continue fighting for a place, and is working to respond well at the time he’s needed.
“There are many matches and I just have to be ready when the time comes,” Jorginho told Gianluca Di Marzio.
“We need to continue working on the path we have taken. There is a lot of room for improvement but I think we are on the right path.”
The player claimed this situation is not something new to him, as he had to fight for his place before, and will continue to work to succeed at Arsenal.
The most important thing in the end is the team. You live it in a more serene way because you make choices with more peace of mind in your head. This includes how you react to certain difficulties, at certain moments. You know that when you want to play a certain way and things don’t go the way you want, you take it differently. These years of career have always helped me.”
Regarding the Gunners’ new attempt to win the Premier League, Jorginho claims to trust the process the club has been going through, hoping he can contribute to it.
“We’re only at the beginning of the championship, there’s a lot to do and it’s never easy. But as I said first we are on the right path and we have to stay with our feet on the ground and work very hard because it is not easy, nothing is easy. We will see in the end where we can get but we have a good chance.”
“Absolutely yes, like all the players. We have a good, or rather a very good, squad and everyone will have their moment to make their contribution to the team.”
