With squad and fans: Jorginho’s reactions in Flamengo v Vasco | OneFootball

How did Jorginho perform in Flamengo vs Vasco in the Brasileirão?

By: Rodrigo Lima

Midfielder Jorginho is increasingly becoming one of the main leaders in the current Flamengo squad. In the derby against Vasco, the Italian-Brazilian gave a few signs that he is a reference point for the players on the pitch.

Even before the ball got rolling last Sunday (03), Jorginho had an attitude that drew a lot of attention. As soon as the starting players finished posing for the photo, the number 21 went over to each teammate to give that final hug, the classic word of encouragement.

Once the match was underway, Jorginho seemed to command and instruct the Flamengo players throughout the plays. In addition to contributing defensively, the player also took part in several attacking moves in the derby.

HOW DID JORGINHO’S GOAL HAPPEN IN FLAMENGO VS VASCO?

Jorginho’s performance was crowned with a goal, another one from the penalty spot. In the second half of the match against Vasco, Pedro won a penalty, and the Italian-Brazilian stepped up to take it. On the shot, the number 21 did not use his traditional little hop, but he still managed to send goalkeeper Leo Jardim the wrong way.

DID JORGINHO RECEIVE APPLAUSE FROM FLAMENGO FANS?

With the score at 2-0, head coach Leonardo Jardim began making changes to the Flamengo team. One of the substitutions was Jorginho coming off for Saúl Ñíguez. As he was leaving the pitch, the Italian-Brazilian heard his name chanted and received plenty of applause from the red-and-black fans at the Maracanã.

HOW DID FLAMENGO VS VASCO END IN THE BRASILEIRÃO?

Without Jorginho on the pitch, Flamengo could not hold on to their lead and ended up conceding an equalizer to Vasco. In short, the São Januário side’s second goal came on the final play, with a header from Hugo Moura. In the end, the match finished 2-2.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

With Jorginho available, Flamengo return to the pitch this Thursday (07) for another “decision” in the season. In short, at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), Mengo face Independiente Medellín (COL) in the fourth round of the Libertadores group stage, in Colombia. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will cover all the details of the match on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media.
