Jorginho ‘dupes’ Vitão, Royal jibes Lino: “When you want, you’re clever” | OneFootball

Jorginho pulled off a magic trick that no one understood at Flamengo’s training camp

The atmosphere is light at Flamengo. On the eve of the match against Independiente Medellín (COL), Jorginho recorded a funny moment with Vitão, Emerson Royal and Samuel Lino during dinner at the hotel where the squad is staying ahead of the Libertadores clash.

Jorginho pulled off a magic trick that ‘no one understood’ with a water bottle. The midfielder kept asking whether it was open or closed at different moments, and Vitão tried to guess, but with little success. From afar, Emerson Royal just laughed. Samuel Lino, meanwhile, joined the conversation and apparently showed that he understood the Italian-Brazilian’s trick. Then the full-back teased the winger.

— I’m just going to tell you something kind of obvious: you just have to pay attention when a guy is going to do a magic trick on you. The guy leads you one way so he can do the trick another way (…). Hey, Lino, you’re smart, huh, bro. When you really want to pay attention, you can figure it out — said Emerson Royal.

SO WHAT WAS THE TRICK, AFTER ALL?

Despite the complexity of the video posted by Jorginho, Coluna do Fla will explain what the trick was. The midfielder opened and closed the bottle, twisted the plastic from one side to the other, but the bottle was not what mattered. When the midfielder asked “open or closed,” he was referring to his own mouth. The bottle was just a distraction.
