Ex-Brazil star hails Flamengo ace: “Rarely puts a foot wrong” | OneFootball

Jorginho had a positive performance in Flamengo's victory over Internacional

Flamengo did not take notice of Internacional and won 3-1 against the Gauchos last Sunday (17), in Porto Alegre. Therefore, on Monday (18), midfielder Jorginho was praised by the national press. Denilson, former Brazilian national team player, praised the Italian-Brazilian's football and highlighted his regularity throughout the season to help the Mais Querido.

— Flamengo suffocating Internacional, but I want to register here: I followed, although not with the frequency that I follow now, Jorginho's football, naturalized Italian and midfielder. Currently, I have been watching Flamengo's games more regularly — and how well Jorginho plays —, started Denilson.

“How intelligent he is. He rarely makes a mistake. 'Ah, Denilson, but pass to the side'. No, pass forward, only forward. What a player”, said the former Brazilian national team player on Monday (18), during a program on SporTV.

HOW WAS JORGINHO?

Jorginho played for 67 minutes, when he gave way to Jorge Carrascal. Thus, in the match in Porto Alegre against Internacional, the Italian-Brazilian midfielder hit 90% of his passes, in addition to converting 100% of his launches. Finally, he also helped in defense with three actions.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Now, with Jorginho at his disposal, Flamengo changes its focus and returns to the Copa Libertadores, again against Internacional. The red-black team faces the Gaucho club on Wednesday (20), at 21h30 (Brasília time), at the Beira-Rio Stadium, in a match valid for the second match of the round of 16.
