Europa League: Azpilicueta hails one Chelsea teammate, speaks on 1-1 draw with Frankfurt

Chelsea captain, Cesar Azpilicueta, has hailed his teammate Jorginho after the Blues managed a 1-1 draw in Germany.

Azpilicueta said Jorginho was very important for the team, while admitting that Maurizio Sarri’s side did not start well in the first half.

Azpilicueta told Sky Sports, “At 1-0 down we were a bit in trouble but we ended the first half well and had more chances than them.

“We knew that we did not start well, we couldn’t cope with their pressure and conceded.

“We scored at a good time which was important and the ambition of the team was to win the game in the second half. Jorginho is important for us to control the game.

“We have an away goal which is important but it is only the first step. Everything will be decided next Thursday.

“They are a dangerous team. The job started in September, now let’s finish it and bring our fans to Baku.”
