Jorginho reveals ‘unusual’ hobby before joining Flamengo | OneFootball

What did Jorginho say he likes to do in his free time?

Wearing the Flamengo shirt since June 2025, Jorginho is one of the main names in Leonardo Jardim's team. In addition to being one of the Rubro-Negro's ‘owners’ on the pitch, the midfielder revealed an ‘unusual’ hobby off it: watching soap operas.

— I really do have a relationship with soap operas that everyone makes fun of me for, everyone jokes about it, but it’s something I’ve always watched since I was little and that kept me connected to Brazil when I was abroad — he said, before finishing:

— It’s something I enjoy, that I like, I find it interesting. I had to wait until the next day for the episode to come out (laughs), I was always a day behind, I wouldn’t even open social media so I wouldn’t see what had happened — concluded Jorginho, in an interview with ‘Conmebol’.

What are Jorginho’s numbers for Flamengo?

Flamengo signed Jorginho in June 2025, after the player terminated his contract with Arsenal (ENG). Since then, despite his short time at the club, the midfielder has established himself as one of the squad’s captains and a key piece in the rubro-negro system.

In total, Jorginho has made 46 appearances in a Flamengo shirt, scoring eight goals and providing three assists. In addition, the midfielder won the Libertadores, the Brasileirão, and the Carioca.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

With Jorginho available, Flamengo is focused on the Copa do Brasil. This Thursday (14), the Rubro-Negro faces Vitória again at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Barradão, in the second leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil.

So, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Vitória through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Sportv (cable TV) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Copa do Brasil match.
