“I Will Never Forget What He Told Me” – Kaio Jorge Reflects on Ronaldo’s Advice
Kaio Jorge, the former Juventus player, has shared the valuable advice he received from football legend Cristiano Ronaldo during their brief time together at the Serie A club.
Jorge, who joined Juventus in 2021 for €7 million from Santos, crossed paths with Ronaldo during his first few months in Turin.
That same year, Ronaldo made his move to Manchester United, marking the end of their time together at Juventus.
Jorge made 11 appearances for the club before transferring to Cruzeiro Esporte Clube this summer for €7.2 million.
Reflecting on their time together, Jorge recalled the guidance Ronaldo gave him, which he still holds dear.
Speaking to Flash Score, Jorge said, “I feel incredibly fortunate to have learned so much from him, even though we were only together for less than two months.
He was always kind and supportive. I will never forget what he told me one day in the gym: ‘It is from preparation that opportunities arise.’
That’s a phrase I’ve carried with me ever since.”
Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has opened up about a difficult period in his career, revealing that he almost stepped away from football.
Speaking during a recent interview, Bassey shared that he once made a personal promise to himself to quit pursuing football professionally if he failed to secure a spot at a professional club.
“I remember being 15 and going into my final year, and I told myself that if I didn’t get into a professional club, I would quit football. It was that simple,” he said.
“I would just stop pursuing it seriously and only play for fun. Thank God I eventually got a club, because I honestly don’t know where I would be otherwise.”
It has been reported that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) fined Egypt $5,000 following their clash with Zimbabwe for failing to manage post-match media obligations.
It was noted that after the match, the Egyptian players ignored the media. This action was said to be a violation of CAF’s media regulations, which led to the fine being imposed.
Head of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, shared that the big-name players on the team are not happy about being benched.
He recalled when he took out Samuel Chukwueze during the match against Tanzania.
“Yes, of course, we’ve in this team a lot of big names. They are competitors; they aren’t happy when they go to the bench,” Chelle said at his post-match interview.”
“My job is to make choices, and we’re playing a 4-4-2 diamond, and at this moment I feel we have to protect the wing.”
