Chelsea midfielder Jorginho, 29, joked that he would vote for himself for the Ballon d’Or if given the chance to make sure he gets at least one pick for the glorified prize.
Who will Jorginho vote for?
Jorginho is among the contenders for the prestigious award after an excellent year of Champions League and Super Cup victories with Chelsea and Euro 2020 with Italy. Aside from himself, the midfielder says Man Utd’s De Bruyne will be his choice, although Lewandowski and Messi are front-line soldiers for the award, which will be presented at a ceremony in Paris on November 29.
Although the award has traditionally been dominated by attacking players, Jorginho’s nomination as a defensive midfielder reflects the impact he has made on the club and country over the past 12 months. As a result, Jorginho is likely to receive a lot of support from journalists, international coaches and captains who will vote for the winner.
However, if they look elsewhere, the midfielder has a plan to have at least one vote registered in his name – although Kevin de Bruyne is his serious choice. Jorginho said that if he doesn’t vote for him, who will vote? Jorginho wants at least one vote! according to him, he is just joking.
Jorginho thinks he will vote Kevin for everything he has done and the beautiful football that he has shown in recent years. For those who love football, it is great to see Kevin de Bruyne play because he understands football, he is a player with above average intelligence.
Mother’s influence on Jorginho
The 29-year-old midfielder also revealed how he had to adapt his game to fit in with the rigor of the Premier League after his transfer from Napoli in 2018, although he didn’t want to completely change his game. Jorginho added that he always tried to bet his game in the Premier League, not the other way around.
Jorginho recognized the issue of physical contact and intensity. he put it in his style because he doesn’t have the physical build to want to go to the Premier League with his running and fighting style. the midfielder understands this, he feeds on putting it into his style of play.
The Brazilian-born star also praised his mother for the role she played in his early football career and says the titles he won this year are due to her influence. The 29-year-old midfielder said he even got goosebumps when he remembered these things, in fact. Thinking about her in these moments is special.
Unfortunately, she returned to Brazil after the Champions League final, which was surreal, and missed the Euro because there was no way to return to England in time and quarantine. She was desperate because she could not return.
