Why Jorginho will support Brazil to win world cup

Chelsea midfielder and Italy international Jorginho, has revealed he would be rooting for Brazil as the country he wants to win the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar this year.

Jorginho also wished his country Italy could be part of this year’s World Cup in Qatar.

Recall that Italy unexpectedly failed to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar after losing Group C’s top spot to Switzerland during qualifiers.

Italy took part in the playoff semi-final, where they squared off against North Macedonia.

They, however, succumbed to a 1-0 defeat, with Aleksandar Trajkovski’s last-gasp strike proving fatal.

Speaking on Football Daily, Jorginho said: “I wish I could be there, but unfortunately, we are not going to be there. So, of course, Brazil… I will be cheering for them, and let’s see what is going to happen.”

A reason for Jorginho’s decision to support Brazil is likely because he was born in the South American country.

Jorginho left Brazil for Italy when he was 15 years old.
