Midfielder Jorginho gave an overview of some players’ performances in penalty shootouts. In some comparisons, the Flamengo player put himself ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo in this regard.
In a chat with ‘UOL’, Jorginho had to decide who was the better penalty taker. Thus, the Italo-Brazilian began to analyze and placed himself ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo and Gabigol. On the other hand, the midfielder chose Henrique Dourado, Neymar, and Messi as better.

Yes! Since arriving at Flamengo, Jorginho has had a few opportunities to find the net from the spot. In total, the player converted three penalties: against Bayern Munich (GER) at the Club World Cup, Atlético-MG in the Copa do Brasil, and Estudiantes (ARG) in the Libertadores.
Jorginho was one of the Flamengo reinforcements who arrived in the last transfer window. Even with little time at the club, the Italo-Brazilian became an undisputed starter in Filipe Luís’s team. In addition, he has become one of the main leaders of the current Rubro-Negro squad.
With Jorginho available, Flamengo is preparing for the upcoming commitments in this final stretch of the season. Thus, coach Filipe Luís used the ‘break’ in the calendar due to the FIFA Date to intensify training with the Mengão squad.
Flamengo’s next game will be against Botafogo this Wednesday (15), for the 28th round of the Brasileirão. The ball rolls for the derby at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Engenhão. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will show the details of the match on YouTube. Finally, Premiere will broadcast the game via pay-per-view.
