The blue director on the coveted individual trophy: “I would like it very much, but I try not to create too many expectations”
Jorginho returns to talk about his dream 2021, about the triumphs with Chelsea and with the National and his individual ambitions: “To win the Golden Ball? Why not ?! – his words a Globe Sports -. However, I try not to create too many expectations. I know it is more difficult for someone in my role, although I would very much like a player of my position to one day be recognized as the best in the world. “

Then the discussion shifted toItaly, on the choice of wearing blue instead of green-gold (“I would have been ungrateful”) and on Qatar 2022. Qualification is near, even if the Swiss obstacle to overcome remains, and the Azzurri will arrive on the wave of enthusiasm just a year and a half after the conquest of the Europeans: “Winning would not be bad – said Jorginho – Certainly Champions and Europeans are not to be thrown away, but the World Cup is something that goes beyond everything: it is simply the top. I cannot complain, but there is always room for some other trophies. I don’t think, however, that we would be the favorites, even if after what we did at Euro2020 we certainly can’t go unnoticed “.
The defeat to Spain in the Nations League semifinal after 37 consecutive useful results does not seem to have left any particular aftermath: “It was inevitable, with one man less and against the worst team to face when there are ten of us. However we then defeated Belgium (in the final 3rd-4th place, ed), which is first in the Fifa ranking. I believe that Italy can continue to be talked about and make the country proud “.
