Jorginho, from Flamengo, said in an interview with Danilo Gentili that defeating Palmeiras in the World Cup final had a special significance because, according to him, the club had closed its doors to his signing in the past. The player mentioned that he tried to finalize a deal with Palmeiras, but it did not work out. When asked about the significance of the tournament for Europeans, Jorginho stated that they valued the Champions League more. He also said that coach Tuchel showed the squad videos of the Palmeiras fans welcoming the team to illustrate the importance of the competition in Brazil and what to expect from the opponent. When asked if Palmeiras had a World Cup, Jorginho replied that, as far as he knew, they did not. #Mundial #Flamengo #Palmeiras (translated)
