Maria Tereza Freitas attended a stand-up comedy show and ‘drove the hosts crazy’

A video of Maria Tereza Freitas, mother of Jorginho, attending a show by the ‘Clube dos Canalhas,’ went viral on social media. One of the members of the comedy group started walking around near the audience and came face to face with the Flamengo midfielder’s relative.

When asked what she does for a living, Jorginho’s mother said she is a driving instructor. Later, she said she has a son who plays for Flamengo, leaving the ‘Canalhas’ in disbelief. Finally, Maria Tereza revealed that she is related to the No. 21 shirt.

— Jorginho, from Italy? And you’re a driving instructor? For fuck’s sake, Jorginho. What are you waiting for to retire your mother? Fuck you, Jorginho. Go fuck yourself. Go back to Italy, Jorginho. You make more than a million a month. Your mother busts her ass in traffic, under a fucking blazing sun — said the members of the ‘Clube dos Canalhas.’

SO THEY WENT TOO FAR, THEN?

On social media, the way Jorginho was insulted sparked complaints from fans. “Calling him a son of a bitch in front of his mother… I don’t know about that,” wrote one. “Really funny telling an elderly woman to fuck off just to get laughs from the crowd,” criticized another. “Was that supposed to be funny?”, asked another.

AFTER ALL, DID MARIA TEREZA INSPIRE JORGINHO?

Born in Imbituba, in the state of Santa Catarina, Jorginho took his first steps in football with help from his mother, an amateur football player. Maria Tereza still likes to ‘kick a ball around’ to this day and has already shown she is very comfortable with the ball at her feet.

HOW IS JORGINHO DOING?

While Maria Tereza Freitas enjoys comedy shows in her free time, Jorginho keeps putting in the work. The midfielder is training with Flamengo during this mid-season break and is also working as a pundit for Grupo Globo during the World Cup.

Next Sunday (28), Jorginho and the Flamengo delegation will travel to Portugal, where the squad will continue preparations for the second half of the year. In Europe, friendlies are scheduled against River Plate (ARG), Lausanne-Sport (SUI) and Benfica (POR).

Before that, however, the Rubro-Negro will have a training match this Friday (26) against Bonsucesso, from Rio de Janeiro, at Ninho do Urubu. Jorginho will be available to coach Leonardo Jardim. On the other hand, the players called up for the World Cup are still away. They are: Danilo, Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro, Lucas Paquetá, Arrascaeta, Varela, De La Cruz, Plata and Carrascal.
