Jorginho entered the tournament following a solid season with Arsenal, where the Gunners narrowly missed out on the Premier League title. Having been a key figure in Italy’s Euro 2020 triumph, expectations were high for the experienced midfielder this summer. However, his performances have fallen short, leading to visible frustration from manager Spalletti during Italy’s loss to Spain, culminating in Jorginho being substituted at halftime.
According to Sky Sports Italia, Spalletti expressed his displeasure with Jorginho in the first half, stating, “He must come and get the ball, otherwise there’s no point in him playing.”
Despite Spain dominating, they only secured a 1-0 victory through a Riccardo Calafiori own goal. Italy also struggled in their Euro opener against Albania, conceding within the first minute despite scoring twice before the 20th minute, ultimately struggling to put the game to bed against the resilient Albanians.
Italy’s next challenge is Croatia in their final group stage match, where securing just one point on June 24 will be enough to advance to the knockout stages.
