Jorginho Among Top Candidates for 2021 'Golden Ball' Award
Jorginho, the Italian midfielder who has recently won the UEFA Champions League and Euro 2020, is among the candidates for the 2021 'Golden Ball' award. The Chelsea player acknowledges the talent of other nominees, including Messi, Ronaldo, and Neymar.
Jorginho's impressive performances in the UEFA Champions League and Euro 2020 have earned him a place among the top candidates for the prestigious 'Golden Ball' award. The 29-year-old, who plays for Chelsea and the Italian national team, has had a remarkable year, winning both tournaments.
Despite his success, Jorginho remains humble, recognising the talent of his fellow nominees. He missed a penalty in the Euro 2020 final but credits Italy's goalkeeper Donnarumma for saving the next one, highlighting the team's collective effort. The French journal France Football, which awards the 'Golden Ball', did not give out the award in 2020 but plans to resume the annual honour in 2021.
Jorginho's recent victories in the UEFA Champions League and Euro 2020 have put him in contention for the 2021 'Golden Ball' award. With other strong candidates like Messi, Ronaldo, and Neymar, the competition is fierce. The award, which recognises the best footballer of the year, will be a closely watched event in the football world.
