Love listening to Jorginho speak! He’s class. You watch, in 5-6 years, he’ll be managing a top European club no doubt about it

[@joshuacallanan7107]

Whenever Jorginho plays for us he always puts in great performances deserve to get more games 🔴⚪️

[@YTPxG]

Great interviewing, Rio. And great responses from Jorginho. Regarding Saka, his best quality is INTELLIGENCE-his decision making, first principles thinking and judgment are what set him apart-this is hard to put in words, and hard for casuals to see. But watch his career! He is consistent, will ONLY improve, and deserves all the greatness coming to him. I hope this includes the Ballon d'Or.

He's not saying Saka should've won it this year or the year before, he's on track of breaking assist record this year and has almost double the assists of 2nd place in pl among which only 3 are from corners while palmer has taken more corners than Saka.

​@@DuaneWest-o1y Jorginho has football intelligence which is why he can walk in the team when needed and perform to high level regardless of how old he is, he also does alot behind the scenes that the public doesn't see which makes him worth his weight in gold. Just think about how much he's helping youngsters like Nwaneri learn how to be a top professional simply by being an example. You can troll all you like but you need older players to show the youngsters they way it's done, that's how you set a culture.

I see it when you were talking to Jorginho about his experience and you seem genuinely intrigued bro. I know you could connect well with them. You sometimes get me a bit emotional and passionate about football, especially the comradery it brings with your mates. I think you should try something. Like an assistant manager or what have you.

One thing that holds Saka back in the ballon d'or debate is he is just effective not flashy in anyway. He could win everything but he doesn't have those all time memorable moments so people are always comparing him to players who do those things (Foden, Palmer)

[@arsenesson8033]

Just waffling atp

[@JosephMoore-Gilbert]

Rodri just won it you 🔔🔚

[@Delboy0]

Two things are holding to win the Balon Dor, he is dark complexion black and there is a clear racial bias with the 98% white journalists who vote for the award and he is English and foreign journalists don’t like to vote for English players because they feel it promotes the Premier League and feel it has too much exposure and prefer to vote for players of other leagues or foreign players in the EPL. The fact Saka was never in the top 10 of the golden boy award when he was eligible even when he had the best goals and assists states of the nominees each year shows a clear racial and nationality bias that will hold him back. A 5 year study by the PFA proved media praises dark complexion Black players get 65% less than white and Biracial/ lighter skinned players. It is an uncomfortable truth which is why even in England the media put Bellingham, Foden and now Palmer ahead of Saka due to this inherent bias, even thought Saka blows them all out of the water statistically over the last 5 years for club and country.

Don’t forget get this Rio character was the one who kicked off the saka disrespect in the media last year - forever questioning him. Where is world class Foden today ? A luxury player with one great season and he was crowned publicly - meanwhile due to Rio starting the narrative, his unfortunate brother Anton Ferdinand went on a podcast to say Mainoo was more consistent than Saka at the same age, This is how agendas are built, pure revisionism and the sheep just follow … tha euros was the icing on the cake

Great interview. The way Jorginho speaks he'd definitely become a great manager one day. But I've always been curious, though why he chose to play for Italy over Brazil??

[@mangoesboy]

What is this so much hate about Saka in the comments? Jorginho considers that Saka has the talent and hunger to improve to become a B'dor winner one day. He is so consistent nowadays, and he just need to further increase the output. Chill guys!

[@Delboy0]

It is to do with inherent bias. It proven in studies that dark complexion Black players are viewed more negatively and praised less compared to white and light complexion players. So people have no problem saying Bellingham is a Balon Dor contender because they relate to him more, but Saka who has far better goal and assists stats than Bellingham for club and country and plays in the more difficult Premier League is questioned more due to the inherent bias.

[@mangoesboy]

@Delboy0 Most likely, as people are biased even before giving a rationale thought. Especially, wrt Saka, he is such a lovely boy, charming, intelligent, talented and , hardworking. True, black people have been seen largely negatively as compared to lighter skin people. Or shall I say, most of the people are racist inside their core, but hide it.

[@darealkezz806]

@@Delboy0 people will try act like this isn’t true but it’s so clear with how the media portraits Saka and Foden. Not a single mention of Foden euros form or Man City for during this horrible run of Games. When rashford was stinking the media was all over him.

[@fds3415]

I have to disagree. I do agree that premier league based players dont always get the credit from european journalists who seem to give ballon dors to players in spain or Italy ahead of english and german based players, but i disagree that there is also a racial bias against black players too. Bellingham and foden got more hype in the past year because both have won champions leagues and league titles. Saka has not been anywhere near. Then, palmer had a better individual season than saka last year with more goals and assists. Elite football is at the very highest level and is a meritocracy. Saka is in the conversation and there can only be one winner. Rooney for example never got anywhere near the ballon dor even when he was winning title after title and having some of the best individual seasons ive ever seen. Other than Yaya Toure and Eto and vinicius last year (and came second), there just havent been any other stand out players to justify winning it ahead of anyone else. Hundreds of world class players have missed out.

​@@astanco1574Not for nothing but I always like how folks like you will use a single outlier to represent the norm. Even though I don't agree with his position but you can't say there is no rascism in football when players are getting racially abused for missing penalties. Maybe it's not prevalent but it's still there....

[@fds3415]

@@Robert-i4g some fans are of course racist, but the argument that black players are not winning balon dors because of racism I think is wrong. I would also like to look st that pfa study that supposedly covered 5 years. It would be interesting to see how extensive it was because there are so many variables to consider and controls yo make to ever be able to make a clear conclusion, and you will never be able to analyse every pundits comments as there are so many. Just because the claim that black players are praised less than white players, even if true, does not necessarily conclude the hypothesis of racism. The very best players will get praised the most and if in any given time period there is a black minority in say the top 20 players in a league season of course the outocme will be that black players are praised less. So anyway if its available id like to read it and perhaps have my mind changed.
