Training and sacrifice. Golden feet and ice head. Here is how the Italian who yesterday signed the decisive penalty against Spain became one of the best midfielders in Europe. La gazzetta dello sport has made the portrait of Jorginho that Lapsi, al has translated
Beyond the rumors, beyond the suspicions about London, a city where it is not easy to acclimatize if you come from Brazil and then from Naples, beyond fatigue, considering that it is closing the season with 56 games Italy showed that it is dependent on a man . Beyond all this Professor Jorginho was once again shown to be the key man.
After winning the Champions League he took a few days off with permission from Mancini, during which he rested in London, slept a lot, went to eat at his favorite restaurant, Gola, where he was rented a large bowl of pasta, favorites and spent the rest of the time with the children. When he showed up at Coverciano, the Italian training ground, those who saw him said he was “fresh as a rose”.
Super – mom
In Jorginho’s life, football has always been at the forefront, even when he ended up at the center of rumors of a crisis marriage with Natalia (mother of the first two children), due to flirting with a Chelsea translator and when he started the story with Catherine Harding , exin of actor Jude Law, who became the mother of his third child. At the moment it seems that the two are together – she was in the stadium yesterday in the match against Spain – but it also seems that the relationship with Natalia is excellent (she is also always in the stadium). In any case, beyond the rosy stories and rumors (English tabloids have made a feast with these stories), there is an essential woman in Jorginho’s life and career. The weak point of the boy with golden legs and cold head (as evidenced by the penalty scored against Spain) remains his mother. Mrs. Maria Teresa, in 1991, when she became pregnant, promised herself that as a former amateur footballer, she would do anything to pass on her passion for football to her son. But she probably did not even imagine that he would become one of the strongest and most famous midfielders in Europe.
Arriving at the monastery
After divorcing her father, with very little money in her luggage, Jorginho’s mother left Brazil to join their grandparents in Italy, on the outskirts of Verona. It was she who bought the ball, the soccer shoes and who also learned the basics of the game. Then he found a place in a nearby monastery (“there were six of us in one room, we stayed there for a year and a half and they paid us 20 euros a week. The monks treated us very well, they were always very respectful to us and the food was great, ”Jorginho recalls today. At first he resisted but then had a crisis that forced him to say enough and abandon everything. His mother intervened again and persuaded him almost forcefully: “If you leave, you will not return home. “You have to learn to resist.” And the boy did.
Life in London
It turned out that the lady was right, all the more so if you look at how, now in London, Jorginho is taking care to the point of fixing on his career. Even getting to know Sarri was very important to him. He taught her to take care of his body and pay special attention to nutrition, as Jorginho is a fan of pasta and pizza. Today he knows how to manage himself very well and always his mother, the same mother who in a video goes viral appears in tears watching her son’s blouse in the Chelsea store, taught him the importance of training always, even perfecting the technique even at the age of 30. As a child he did it in the sand (“he improved stamina and balance”), now perfecting himself in Chelsea’s professional training grounds in London. A London where Jorghinho has lived for three years and which, already, has entered his heart. And who can bet that after Sunday evening it will not become even more special for her?
Fashion
Between football and good food, another passion for him is that of fashion. He prefers to dress with Dolce Gabbana. Jorginho, has a passion for Italian brands, but does not have an eccentric style. It is quite classic and sophisticated. In a word, professor, even in look, is the same as in football./ La gazzetta dello sport
