Chiellini Hopes Teammate Jorginho Wins Ballon d’Or

“I hope he’ll be able to win, he is a good friend of mine, the Ballon d’Or, it’s an award I would feel like my own,” the Juve defender said.

“He was involved in a win and emotions that will always be in our hearts. I’ve always thought he was a good player but after the first few training sessions, I realised how good he is, what a top player he is.

“He has great technical qualities, but the real difference is in his head. Many said he was only able to play with Sarri, but everywhere he goes he is a regular starter, I really hope he will win the Ballon d’Or.”

Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini says he hopes Italy teammate Jorginho wins the Ballon d’Or this year.

The Chelsea star was at the heart of the Blues’ Champions League victory over Manchester City in this year’s final, and then became an irreplaceable figure in Roberto Mancini’s Azzurri side, which lifted the Euro 2020 trophy at Wembley Stadium at England’s expense.

Speaking ahead of Juve’s meeting with Chelsea in the Champions League group stage on Wednesday, Chiellini heaped further praise on Jorginho’s shoulders, stating that he ‘really hopes’ the midfielder will win the Ballon d’Or for 2021, as quoted by Football Italia.
