The Blues welcome RB Salzburg to Stamford Bridge on Wednesday evening in
what will be Potter's first game in charge of the club, with the former
Brighton manager hoping to record a first Champions League victory of the
campaign.
Jorginho has revealed he has spoken with Potter since his arrival, as he
often did with Tuchel, and reflected on a whirlwind week that saw the
change in management.
'A lot has happened in the last week as everyone knows,' Jorginho said at
his pre-match press conference. 'Life is fast and things can change
quickly.
'We are excited to work with him [Potter] and his staff. It's been good
the first few days, very positive.

'We had a great, great time with Thomas and we appreciate everything he
did for us and for the club. However, now we are working hard with the new
coach.
'We are working a lot in meetings to see what the new manager will bring
to us and understand as quickly as possible what he wants from us on the
pitch.

'Already he has done very well and made a positive impression. He has been
asking us what we feel comfortable with and also what he wants to see more
from us. There is a lot of information to come and we need to try and
understand that and help each other.'
While Potter has only been working with the players for a few days,
Jorginho admits the 47-year-old Englishman has already made a positive
impression on the group as he looks to get his ideas across.
'He is a good coach, he's proven that at Brighton, and I think this new
challenge is not just for us but it's for him as well,' added the
Italian. 'As we always do, we try to help everyone as a team and I think
he is well prepared for what's coming.
'It's going to be a new experience for him and I think he will like it a
lot. At the end of the day, it's about results and we will look to win
this game [v RB Salzburg] to get the coach off to a great start and make
everyone feel good!'
