Jorginho, Arsenal’s new ‘Messiah’ speaks on coach benching Partey

Jorginho, an Arsenal midfielder, has given an explanation for why his coach, Mikel Arteta, has chosen to start him instead of Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey in recent matches.

Jorginho was in the starting lineup for Arsenal’s victories against Chelsea and Newcastle United.

Following the match against Newcastle, Jorginho stated that he and Partey have distinct playing styles and skillsets, which provide Arsenal with more options in midfield.

According to him, he and Partey have given Mikel Arteta options in midfield and only have one responsibility to be ready anytime when called upon.

“I think we are two different players that can adapt for the coach in different games. I think the coach has two good choices and depending on what game, and what type of players he wants on the pitch. The only thing we can do is be ready when he needs us and give our best to help the team,” Jorginho said in an interview.

Since joining Arsenal in the January transfer window, Jorginho has started 6 out of 11 matches in the Premier League while Partey has started 26 in 30 outings.
