Jorge Luiz Frello Filho Cavaliere OMRI (born 20 December 1991), known as Jorginho, is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Premier League club Chelsea and the Italy national team. Often regarded as one of the best midfielders to have played the game, he operates as a defensive midfielder or a deep-lying playmaker, also known as a regista in Italian football.[3]

Born in Brazil, Jorginho moved to Italy at the age of 15, and began his professional career with the Verona youth team, before being promoted to the senior team. During the 2010–11 season, he was sent on loan to Sambonifacese. In January 2014, he moved to Napoli, where he soon after won the Coppa Italia and the Supercoppa Italiana. He totaled 160 games for the club before a £50 million move to Chelsea in 2018, where he won the UEFA Europa League in his first season, followed by the UEFA Champions League during the 2020–21 season.

At international level, he has represented Italy, making his senior debut in 2016, while his competitive debut came the following year. He was part of the Italy squad which won UEFA Euro 2020. He was named to the Team of the Tournament for his performances, and was later named the 2021 UEFA Men's Player of the Year.

Early life[]

Jorginho was born in Imbituba in the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina[4] but moved to Italy at the age of 15.[5][6] He is of Italian descent through his paternal great-grandfather Giacomo Frello who is from Lusiana, Veneto,[7] and thus earned Italian citizenship as a result.[8][9]

He has credited his mother with encouraging his love of football.[10] After discovering that he was being financially exploited by his agent while playing for the Verona youth team, Jorginho almost quit the game and wanted to move back to Brazil, but credits an emotional phone call with his mother for inspiring him to persist and continue playing.[11]

His childhood idol was Romanian player Gheorghe Hagi, which led to his friends nicknaming him Haginho.[12]

Club career[]

Hellas Verona[]

Jorginho was a youth player of Hellas Verona. In June 2010, Jorginho was loaned out to Serie C2 side, Sambonifacese, where he played his first full senior season for the Veneto club – appearing 31 times and scoring one goal whilst providing ten assists from his central midfield position.[13]

He made his Verona debut on 4 September 2011, in a match against Sassuolo as a substitute in the 76th minute.[14]

Napoli[]

Jorginho playing for Napoli in 2016

On 18 January 2014, he joined Napoli in a co-ownership deal with Verona for four and a half years.[15] On 12 February, he scored the last goal as Napoli overturned a 3–2 first-leg deficit to beat Roma and reach the 2014 Coppa Italia Final.[16] In the final, on 3 May, Jorginho played the full 90 minutes as Napoli defeated Fiorentina 3–1.[17]

In the 2014 Supercoppa Italiana in Doha on 22 December 2014, Jorginho entered the game against Juventus in the second half of extra time in place of Jonathan de Guzmán. He took Napoli's first spot-kick in the penalty shootout, and although Gianluigi Buffon saved it, Napoli were eventually victorious.[18] While initially struggling to get into manager Rafael Benítez's lineup, Jorginho's fortunes changed with the appointment of Maurizio Sarri who was key to his development, deploying him in a deep-lying midfield role from which he could dictate play with his passing.[19] In 2017–18, Jorginho had a breakthrough season with Napoli and was integral to their Serie A title challenge.[20]

Chelsea[]

2018–19 season[]

On 14 July 2018, Jorginho signed for English team Chelsea on a five-year contract on the same day as Sarri was hired at the club. He joined for a transfer fee of £50m with £7m in potential add-ons, and was assigned the number 5 shirt.[21][22] According to Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis, he was previously close to joining Manchester City.[23] Jorginho made his debut on 5 August in the 2018 FA Community Shield at Wembley Stadium against that very opponent, and was booed by City fans in Chelsea's 2–0 loss.[24] Six days later, he played his first Premier League match, in which he scored a penalty in a 3–0 win at Huddersfield Town.[25] In Chelsea's third league match of the campaign, a 2–1 win away at Newcastle United, Jorginho completed 158 passes, which was a new record for most successful passes by a Chelsea player in a single match in the Premier League, and the second all-time in the league, behind İlkay Gündoğan's 167 completed passes for Manchester City against Chelsea from the prior season.[26] Jorginho went on to break the attempted passes record in Chelsea's sixth league match of the season on 23 September, attempting 180 passes in a 0–0 draw away at West Ham United, breaking the record of 173 attempted passes again set by Gündoğan in the same Manchester City–Chelsea match the year before.[27] On 24 February 2019, following a 0–0 draw after extra-time in the 2019 EFL Cup Final against cup holders Manchester City, Jorginho missed Chelsea's first penalty in the resulting shoot-out, which ultimately saw Manchester City triumph 4–3.[28] On 29 May, Jorginho featured in Chelsea's 4–1 victory over Arsenal in the 2019 UEFA Europa League Final.[29]

2019–20 season[]

Jorginho playing for Chelsea in 2019

In the 2019 UEFA Super Cup against Liverpool on 14 August, Jorginho scored the equalising goal from the penalty spot in extra-time an eventual 2–2 draw. The match subsequently went to a penalty shoot-out; although Jorginho was able to net Chelsea's first penalty, Liverpool ultimately won the shoot-out 5–4.[30] He scored his first league goal of the season, also from the penalty spot, in a 2–0 home win over Brighton & Hove Albion on 28 September.[31] On 5 November, he scored twice from the penalty spot as Chelsea came from behind to earn a 4–4 home draw against Ajax in the Champions League.[32]

2020–21 season[]

Jorginho scored Chelsea's first goal of the season from the penalty spot in an eventual 3–1 league win against Brighton & Hove Albion on 14 September at Falmer Stadium.[33] On 20 September, Jorginho missed his first penalty for Chelsea in the same match in which he made his 100th appearance for the club; the game ended 2–0 to Liverpool.[34] On 3 October, he scored two penalties as Chelsea ran out 4–0 winners at home to Crystal Palace.[35] He also led the team in goals in the Premier League, all coming from penalties.[36] On 29 May 2021, Jorginho won his first-ever Champions League with Chelsea, beating Manchester City 1–0 in the final.[37]

2021–22 season[]

Jorginho came on as a substitute during the 2021 UEFA Super Cup against Villarreal on 12 August, which Chelsea won 6–5 on penalties. He took and scored the fifth penalty in the shoot-out.[38] On 26 August 2021, Jorginho was named UEFA Men's Player of the Year Award beating out his Chelsea teammate, and UEFA Men's Midfielder of the year, N'Golo Kanté, as well as Manchester City midfielder, Kevin De Bruyne.[39]

International career[]

As Jorginho holds both Italian and Brazilian citizenship, he was eligible to play for both the Italian and Brazilian national teams. In 2012, he was called up for the first time for Italy U21.[40]

In 2014, Jorginho expressed his desire to represent Italy rather than Brazil internationally,[41] and he received his first call up to the Italy senior squad in March 2016, under manager Antonio Conte, for the team's international friendlies against Spain and Germany.[42] He made his international debut for Italy on 24 March, coming on as a last-minute substitute for Marco Parolo in a 1–1 draw against Spain at the Stadio Friuli in Udine.[43] After initially being included in Conte's preliminary 30-man squad for UEFA Euro 2016, on 31 May, Jorginho was later excluded from the final 23-man squad.[44]

In spite of his positive club form for Napoli, Jorginho was not initially called up to the Italian side under Conte's successor, Gian Piero Ventura. Although rumours circled in the media regarding the possibility of Brazil's coach Tite calling Jorginho up to his squad in autumn 2017, as he had not yet appeared for Italy in a competitive match, Jorginho denied rumours that he wanted to switch to the Brazilian national team.[45][46][47][48][49] He later made his first competitive appearance for Italy under manager Ventura in a 0–0 home draw against Sweden on 13 November, in the second leg of the World Cup play-offs against Sweden, at the San Siro in Milan; however, Italy's 1–0 away loss in the first leg on 10 November saw Sweden advance on aggregate, meaning that Italy had failed to qualify for the World Cup for the first time in 60 years.[50]

On 7 September 2018, in Italy's first UEFA Nations League match at home to Poland in Bologna, Jorginho scored his first international goal from the penalty spot to secure a 1–1 draw.[51][52] On 8 September 2019, he scored his second international goal, from the penalty spot once again, in a 2–1 away win over Finland, in a Euro 2020 qualifier.[53] On 12 October, Jorginho scored his third international goal, once again from a penalty kick, in a 2–0 home win over Greece, which sealed Italy's qualification for Euro 2020.[54] He scored his fourth international goal from the penalty spot once again on 18 November, in a 9–1 home win over Armenia in Italy's final Euro 2020 qualifier, also assisting Nicolò Zaniolo's second goal during the match.[55]

In June 2021, he was included in Italy's squad for UEFA Euro 2020 by manager Roberto Mancini.[56] On 6 July, following a 1–1 draw after extra-time against Spain in the semi-final of the competition, Jorginho scored the decisive penalty kick in the resulting shoot-out to send Italy to the final;[57][58] during the match, he completed a tournament high of eight interceptions.[59] In the final on 11 July against England at Wembley Stadium, after a 1–1 draw following extra time, his spot-kick was saved in the penalty shootout by Jordan Pickford, but Italy would go on to win 3–2 in the shootout.[60] Throughout the tournament, he covered the most ground of any player (86.6 km in total),[61] made the most recoveries alongside Manuel Akanji (46),[62] and completed the second most passes of any player after Aymeric Laporte (497 out of 529 attempted, with a 93% passing accuracy);[63] he also won the most fouls (19) and made the most interceptions (25) of any other player, breaking Marcel Desailly's record of 24 interceptions in a single tournament from UEFA Euro 1996, since these statistics first began to be recorded at UEFA Euro 1980.[59] For his performances, he was included in the team of the tournament.[64]

Style of play[]

Jorginho is known for his composure and versatility as a footballer, which allows him to be fielded in any midfield position. Due to his work-rate, technique, football intelligence, ability to break down possession, vision, and passing accuracy, he is usually deployed as central midfielder in a three-man midfield in a 4–3–3 formation. Although he is not imposing physically, due to his slender build and relatively short stature, he is also capable of playing both in a box-to-box role or in a defensive midfield role as a ball winner, courtesy of his tactical intelligence, positional sense, awareness, and ability to read the game, which enables him to cover ground, press opponents further up the pitch, intercept passes, and start attacking plays after winning back the ball. However, he usually operates in a more withdrawn creative role, as a deep-lying playmaker in front of the back-line, a position known as the regista role in Italian football jargon, which allows him more time on the ball to control the tempo of his team's play with his short, precise, horizontal passing game on the ground.[5][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72] He is also an accurate penalty taker.[73] His team-mates have nicknamed him 'Il Professore' ('The Professor,' in Italian) or 'Radio Jorginho' due his leadership and organisational qualities, as well as for the way he directs the team and continuously talks during games.[74] In 2021, his Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel described him as one of "the very best midfielders in the world."[75]
