Jorginho: "Golden ball? I'm not the best but nobody has won more than me"

It sounds like Messi's great rival to win the next gold ball.Champion of the Champions League with Chelsea and European champion with Italy, the Brazilian midfielder is the player with the most successful successes in this 2021.However, the midfielder is clear that his options will depend on the criteria used for the winner's choice.

Golden Ball

"We live for dreams.But I will be honest enough: it depends on the criteria you have when assigning it.If we talk about talent, I am aware that I am not the best in the world.On the other hand, if you choose based on the titles, well, nobody has won more than me this season.How am I going to compare with Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo or Neymar?They have completely different characteristics from mine, but I repeat, it depends on the criteria."

The penalty failed against England

"Everything was fixed.I knew that Donnarumma would save him.I always give everything I have for the team, but unfortunately it is not enough.I ended up failing the penalty, and at that time the world fell on me, because I wanted to give victory to Italy.Luckily we have this phenomenon in the goal that saved me."

Your choice to play with Italy

"I didn't think twice.After sub 21, he had played with the Italian team only friendly matches.In November 2017, the call for the World Play-Off with Sweden arrived but at that time Brazil had also looked for me.It was my dream.Play child with Brazil.But I felt that Italy needed help, that fundamental game was playing with Sweden.And when I needed help, Italy helped me, hugged me and opened my doors.I didn't feel comfortable turning my back.My heart said 'No, Italy needs you'.So I made that decision and, honestly, I am very happy with her."
