Chelsea midfielder Jorginho has spoken of how close he is to teammate Emerson Palmeiri.

Jorginho admits he was particularly happy for Emerson when he scored in their Champions League defeat of Atletico Madrid.

He told the club's website: "It was just amazing. We are all friends in this team and we support one another but it's true, I have a close relationship with Emerson so when he scored I was really happy for him. He works so hard every single day and he deserved that moment.

"It was funny because Emerson had been joking to Thiago [Silva] and I in training that he only needs one good ball to him to score. So when he was coming on, I turned to Thiago and said, 'I think today he will have one touch of the ball and score'.

"I could see that Atletico were constantly coming at us, trying to get a goal and I thought we could catch them on the counter-attack. Thiago joked that if Emerson scored, he would jump from the stands to celebrate. Then when the counter happened and Emerson was running forward, Thiago and I just looked at each other and I said, 'oh my God, it's going to happen!' Then when he scored, we were all so happy for him and as you can see from the celebrations, we all went a little crazy!"
