29-year-old Jorginho, who immigrated from Brazil at a young age and was naturalized in Italy, was born in the Verona Junior Army, was initially loaned to the lower league team to hone, and then began to rise in Verona, in the 2012/13 season helped the team to achieve a serie B runner-up, and rose to the 11-year absence of Serie A; after the promotion, Jorginho played 18 games for the team in the first half of the league, scoring 7 goals, the performance was surprising, and attracted the favor of many European powers. He was eventually signed by Serie A front side Napoli in early 2014. In the early days of joining the club, because of his playing style biased towards the typical "No. 10" midfield commander, he could not find a position in the formation of then-manager Benitez and could not get too many opportunities to play, but when Sarri took over the team, he transformed Jorginho into a backward organizer, responsible for the team's transfer to attack and control the rhythm of attack and defense, and played an irreplaceable role in the "Sarri Ball" formation based on passing, which helped the team become one of the few teams that could challenge Juventus's hegemony in the league at that time. Although he eventually lost points in the last few league games and lost the championship, Jorginho's importance in midfield has been obvious to all.
The performance in Napoli, in addition to making Gioginho one of the top midfielders in Serie A, attracted the attention of the giants including Chelsea, Manchester City and other teams, and as a result, he was signed by Chelsea for 57 million pounds in the summer of 2018, and was able to continue to follow sarri, the manager who was also "over-slotted" Chelsea; after moving to the Premier League, although his mentor Sarri only coached for one season, he left the team, but whether he was in charge of Sarri, he was still under the managers such as Lampard and the current Thomas Tuchel. Jorginho has been given a lot of opportunities to play, and the Italian midfielder has a very stable performance, and his playing style is more comprehensive than in Serie A, making more long passes and running positions than before, helping the team win a Europa League title and winning the Champions League this past season, becoming the darling of many Chelsea fans.
After Mancini took office, one of the changes in the team's playing style was to use Jorginho as the center of gravity of the Italian midfield line, using his excellent passing and reading ability to create more vacancies in the midfield, so as to be able to more easily receive the passes of teammates, and then pass the ball to the frontline players in a more favorable position in the frontcourt to attack, play the role of tandem team midfielder and frontcourt, and the first point of the team's transition to attack, coupled with Marco Verratti's personal ability and transmission organization, forming a "dual core" control midfield As a result, the Chelsea midfielder became an indispensable member of the Italian midfield, playing the inevitable main selection for the entire European Championship qualifiers, playing almost every minute for the team, contributing 3 goals and one assist, leading Italy to the final of the European Championship with a full victory posture.
In the final round, Jorginho was selected in all matches, and in the first two matches against Turkey and Switzerland, because another midfielder, Marco Villati, was absent from injury, and the young players of Sassuolo, Manuel Locatelli and Inter Milan's Niccolò Barrera, formed a midfield line and played the role of controlling the rhythm of the game and the organization of the transmission, helping the team to successfully qualify in the first place after winning all three games in the group stage; by the knockout stage, Jorginho's performance was getting more and more courageous. Coupled with the fact that the performance of a group of teammates has gradually increased confidence and is more responsive, the team's control effect in midfield is more and more ideal, especially in Belgium, where the stars are like stars in the quarterfinals, and the opponents are completely compared with the midfield line composed of de Bruyne, Yuri Tillmans, Exel Witsel and other stars, helping the team successfully defeat the opponent and reach the top 4; although in the final four against Spain, which has better ball ability and midfield control, the midfield once lost momentum and fell into a bitter battle. However, Jorginho's offensive and defensive performance successfully stabilized the scene, and finally scored the final round in the penalty shootout stage, helping the team defeat the opponent and advance to the final.
In the final against England, which had the advantage of home, although the opening stage had lost and fell behind first, but after gaining a firm foothold, coupled with Mancini's change of position in the second half, and the opponent's more and more conservative play, Jorginho had more space in the midfield to organize with the ball, the result was the team equalized, and fought to the penalty shoot-out stage, although the Chelsea midfielder's final round of shot was saved by the opposing goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, fortunately Donnarumma also saved Saka's penalty, allowing Italy to defeat the opponent and successfully win the championship. First to help the club win the Champions League, and then to help Italy win the European Championship, coupled with the stability and offensive and defensive standards throughout the season, as well as the level of maturity and progress, it is no wonder that many people think that this Chelsea midfielder is a strong fight for this year's Ballon d'Or.
