Chelsea Midfielder Jorginho's reaction to winning UEFA's Player of the Year award
Chelsea midfielder Jorginho was named the Best Men's player of last season by UEFA at the award ceremony during the Champions League draw.
Although he was unable to attend the function, Jorginho's reactions has been captured by chelseafc.com.
"I have no words to describe this moment," Jorginho said on winning the award.
"It’s unreal for me because I have worked so hard to get here. It feels amazing and none of this would have happened without the help of everyone who contributed along the way.
"All of my team-mates, for both Chelsea and the national team, my managers, kit men, physios, medical staff and just everyone that works in the building.
"It happened because of everyone and not just me, so it means a lot. I just want to say thank you to all those people who have helped along the way, and even to those who didn’t believe in me because they motivated me to work even harder.
"It’s a great feeling, I’m really happy and I just want to say thank you to everyone."
The Italian's humility showcases that his personality is a huge part of what has driven him to his success, something he thoroughly deserves.
Jorginho will be hoping to continue impressing and making a serious run at the Ballon d'Or after an already wildly successful 2021.
