Jorginho reveals why his mother broke down in Arsenal dressing room
Jorginho has shared the story of why his mother became emotional upon seeing his Arsenal shirt in the dressing room.
The Italian footballer explained that his mother, who worked as a cleaner in their hometown of Imbituba, Brazil, would often practice football with him on the beaches to help him improve his skills.
She worked hard to buy him football equipment and put food on the table.
Jorginho spoke about the strong bond he shares with his mother in a recent interview.
In an recent interview Jorginho opened up about his bond with his mother. The Italian shared, “My mum is my big inspiration.
“She did everything to ensure that I would become the best I could be. She always tried to do her best to educate me and my sister, teach us to be good people in the future, and not just look out for ourselves.”
He also spoke about the influence she had on him for playing football. Jorginho shared, “She absolutely loves football and we always talk about it. She is always on the phone with me talking about the game, commenting on the games, on everything I’ve done.”
He further went on, “Whenever we speak she tells me about what she thought of my performances. She normally tells me off when she thinks of something that I didn’t do very well. I don’t get many compliments from her, to be honest! She is a tough coach for me.”
Jorginho’s mother traveled from Brazil to North London earlier this week and became emotional upon seeing her son’s Arsenal shirt in the dressing room.
For Jorginho’s mother, seeing her son succeed in football is a source of great pride and joy.
Her tears upon seeing his shirt were tears of happiness, as she sees her son playing for one of the biggest clubs in football.
Jorginho has spoken in the past about the sacrifices his mother made for him to pursue his football dreams, and this moment was a testament to the strong bond they share.
