‘The mentality is different’ - Arsenal star gives reason why Gunners are a better club than Chelsea

Arsenal star Jorginho has shared his thoughts on why he thinks the Gunners are a better team now than Chelsea.

Jorginho made a move from Chelsea to Arsenal in January 2022 and has helped the Gunners challenge Manchester City for the title.

The Italian midfielder has been a vital member of Mikel Arteta's team and could be vital for the Gunners Premier League title challenge.

However, on the other hand, the Blues have had four different managers since the 32-year-old left and they have come under fire for their disorganised transfer policy following their sixth-place performance last season.

Jorginho on Arsenal better than Chelsea

Jorginho now claims that the way Arsenal thinks today distinguishes them from Chelsea and makes them unique from one another. 

Speaking to Seaman on a podcast via Betway, “The only thing I can talk about is when Mikel is here.

“At Chelsea, in any context, any situation, Chelsea would get a trophy. Whatever it was Carabao Cup, FA Cup, Premier League, Champions League, Europa League - something to take home.

“It didn't happen at Arsenal before, but the mentality now is different because you can see the hunger of wanting to win. Sometimes it doesn't work out but the willingness and the hard work is there.”

The former Napoli player also gave his Spanish manager credit for being creative in helping the players grasp the scope of the team.

Jorginho continued, “The way you train every day, the information you have – even the pictures on the walls at the training ground, everything in that atmosphere is about winning.

“It’s really good because Mikel put up all these messages that you see there. It gets into your mind when you see it again and again, and you start to believe it. 

“You go in and see that every day and then you get into the habit. It’s really good because you have the motivation, and all we want to do is win.

“The history of Arsenal is so big that everyone knows about it. It's just not possible to not know about it. 

“And this mentality is back now so we just need to keep working the way we are doing. Of course, the expectation is quite high from all of us because who doesn't want to win? We work so hard, so why not to expect and want to do that?”

Jorginho still thinks Arsenal is a superior team even after his own squad at Stamford Bridge won the Champions League, Europa League, World Club Cup, and European Super Cup.

Meanwhile, Arsenal legend Robert Pires has claimed Bukayo Saka still needs to be more consistent and has picked Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku over the England star
