Chelsea midfielder Jorginho hails Kepa for Super Cup win: But we must stay humble

Chelsea midfielder Jorginho says their Super Cup shootout triumph against Villarreal has brought the squad closer together.

He sees a lot of potential still to come from this youthful Chelsea squad, believing that if we can keep our hunger and focus there will plenty more nights of celebration ahead for the Blues.

"I'm really happy, but I'm more happy for the group than personally to be honest because when everyone is going all together it feels even better," explained Jorginho to chelseafc.com. "It is an amazing group, a young group, so I think we can enjoy a lot of moments together.

"But for now we need to stay humble and always be hungry for trophies, to win, because when you get used to it and get too comfortable and think you have done enough, that is when you go down.

"We need to keep working hard, talking a lot, because it's very important, so I think we have a lot to do still."

One team-mate in particular who Jorginho was delighted to see celebrating in Belfast was Kepa Arrizabalaga after his shootout heroics.

"It was amazing and he deserves it because he works so hard and he did very well. He always trains very hard, he's always positive with the group, with his team-mates. So I cheer for him all the time and I'm so happy for him that he had this night."
