Mikel Arteta praised the Arsenal player during Sunday afternoon’s Premier League encounter against Liverpool.
Arsenal met Jürgen Klopp’s Reds at the Emirates Stadium and delivered a fantastic home performance.
Bukayo Saka started the opener following a powerful counter-attack, and while Luis Diaz cut the deficit just before halftime, Arsenal retook the lead and doubled it in the second half.
Gabriel Martinelli took advantage of a poor mistake by Virgil van Dijk and Alisson, and Leandro Trossard sealed the win in stoppage time.
And, while the scorers and those responsible for some of the individual blunders that decided the game will receive the most attention, Arteta correctly pointed out another of his unsung heroes.
Jorginho, the Gunners’ centre-forward teamed with Declan Rice in the midfield, had a terrific game. The Italian commanded the middle of the park and rarely made a mistake, which his boss observed.
“Jorginho is unbelievable. “An example, a role model,” he told reporters in a post-match interview, which was summarized by Fabrizio Romano.
Jorginho entered the game yesterday because it appeared Gabriel Jesus was not suited to start.
With Kai Havertz shifting into a more aggressive role, space opened up in the middle of the field for Martin Odegaard to wear his cap and play in his regular role as number 10, with Rice in behind, allowing Jorginho to come in and help influence the play.
