A lot has happened this year, but we must realize that even in difficult times when things may not go well, we will do our best and give everything. ”
After COVID-19, returning to a normal life and football must also be a great positive factor.

About the hometown of Brazil
Jorinho: “it’s warm, not as cold as London, but more like Abu Dhabi.” I remember celebrating Christmas in Brazil. We had dinner together, then opened the presents, and then prayed at midnight. It was all about family, and at that time we had a good relationship with our cousins and uncles who spent the holidays together. ”
About how important it is to recover during the World Cup
Jorinho: “We need to think about the players. We have seen a lot of injuries in so many games in a row, which is crazy.” It’s hard for all the players, so it’s great to have some time off. When players are tired from one game to another, how can they maintain a high level? It’s impossible. We’re just human beings. ”
