Jorginho worries Flamengo fans and makes a plea to the Nation

Jorginho changes his look and becomes the target of fans' jokes

Players and former athletes of Flamengo have been helping in the promotion of the petition for the Rubro-Negra Nation to receive recognition from the UN. This Thursday (11), it was Jorginho's turn to call the fans to the campaign. However, in the video released by the club, the new look of the midfielder, who shaved his beard, caught the eye. In the comments of the publication, the focus was entirely on the appearance of the Italo-Brazilian.

"Hey, Nation. I'm here just to leave a message. I've already signed the petition, you sign it too and let's help Flamengo to be recognized by the UN as a Nation, as it deserves to be. A hug", said Jorginho, in a video released by Flamengo's communication on Thursday night (11). However, the message 'was not picked up' by the rubro-negros, who changed the focus.

WHAT WERE THE FANS' REACTIONS?

"I swore it was Oscar (São Paulo's midfielder) being announced", wrote a fan. "Tell him to put his beard back on", another one asked. "My God, who is this player you guys hired?", another one questioned. "It should be in the contract that Jorginho can't shave his beard. He looks very ugly without a beard, dad, straight talk", another one panicked.

WHAT ARE THE NUMBERS OF FLAMENGO'S CAMPAIGN AT THE UN?

At the time of the publication of Flamengo with the video of Jorginho, the club had already surpassed the barrier of 470 thousand signatures. That is, there is an expectation that the barrier of 500 thousand will be surpassed this Thursday (11) or early Friday (12). Names like Zico, Adriano Imperador and Leandro have already recorded videos for the campaign. From the current squad, Jorginho was the first to participate in filming, but most of the squad posted a message on Instagram about the subject.

DOES JORGINHO PLAY AGAINST JUVENTUDE?

The 'new' Jorginho does not have a confirmed presence in the next game of Flamengo. After all, the midfielder is suffering from thigh pain and is doubtful. For the same reason, the Italo-Brazilian did not play against Grêmio, in the last round of the Brasileirão. Therefore, the Rubro-Negro faces Juventude, on Sunday (14), at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, starting at 4 pm (Brasília time).
