Burger? Forget it, man! Happy Meals were for the rich kids. I had one euro”At the time, Jorginho admitted he would be forever haunted by his two penalty misses in their draw against Switzerland, which saw the Swiss finish top of their qualification group.Italy then faced North Macedonia in a playoff but ended up losing 1-0 after extra-time in a colossal upset.”At the beginning, I didn’t see much because it was a bit tough for me, personally,” told Jorginho in an interview for talkSPORT. “After that, I just watched a few games in which my friends were playing, and I was cheering for them, but I didn’t know what time the game was or who was playing. I didn’t want to know much.”Towards the end, the Jorginho who loves football came back and I wanted to watch the final games and the final itself was just unbelievable. It was so, so good.”Those who enjoy football enjoy the thing, we just need to say thank you to them.”##EDITORS_CHOICE##With Italy missing out on the World Cup, his focus now turns to EURO 2024, a tournament that Jorginho sees as a chance for redemption for the team as they look to defend their European crown.”That has to be the target, hasn’t it?
