Considered as a great promise on the left side, Jorge, revealed by Flamengo, is having difficulty establishing himself in national football. This past Tuesday (24), the 28-year-old player was released by CRB, from Alagoas, runner-up in the Brasileirão Série B. The athlete was being underutilized, with just ten games and two assists in the season.


Jorge had his contract terminated after coach Hélio dos Anjos took charge of the club, which was announced on Friday (20). The coach assessed the squad and decided that he would not count on the left back. Thus, the player's time at CRB lasted just five months.


REVEALED BY FLAMENGO AND CONSIDERED A JEWEL OF THE LEFT LATERAL


After making his entire base at Most beloved, Jorge made his professional debut in 2015. The young man surprised by placing the then Colombian national team full-back Pablo Armeno on the bench. After standing out in 2016, the player went to Monaco (FRA), where he was a starter and French champion alongside Mbappé.

In 2019, Jorge played on loan at Porto (POR), Santos and Basel (SUI), until the permanent signing of Palmeiras, in 2021. Subsequently, the full-back's career went downhill, with unsuccessful spells at Fluminense, Santos and CRB.

Flamengo beat Juventude 2-0 last Sunday (14), at Alfredo Jaconi, for the Brazilian Championship, and ended a 28-year winless streak in Caxias do Sul. Arrascaeta opened the scoring and Emerson Royal closed the score, scoring his first goal for the club .


Emerson Royal reveals Filipe Luís's request at Flamengo: "Filipe wants me to be sharp, exploring my physical strength"


After the match, the full-back revealed a conversation with coach Filipe Luís, who advised him on attacking positioning: "I received criticism when I played injured because I couldn't give my best. But I wanted to stay on the field to help Flamengo . Filipe explained to me what he wanted from me: to get to the far post. I even asked my teammates to watch me during that movement," Royal said.


RETURN AS HOLDER

It was the full-back's first game since returning from injury. Royal had sprained his left ankle on August 13 against Internacional in the Copa Libertadores. Since then, he had only played a few minutes in the draw with Grêmio at Maracanã.


According to the player, Filipe Luís asked him to play differently than he was used to in his career: "At Tottenham, I played as a defensive midfielder, on the inside. But Filipe wants me to be sharp, exploiting my physical strength, passing, and crossing. He knows my ability to support, and that can really help the team ."

DISPUTE FOR POSITION

Signed in July for €9 million (approximately R$58 million) from Milan, Emerson Royal is competing for a spot with Varela, who was rested against Juventude due to a groin injury. " Big teams are like that; they always have top-notch players . Varela has a lot of quality, and so do I. The competition is healthy, we work hard, and the choice is Filipe's," said the full-back.

NEXT COMMITMENTS

On Thursday (18), Flamengo faces Estudiantes in the Libertadores (quarter-finals, first leg), at 9:30 pm, at Maracanã . The Most Beloved only returns to the field for the Brasileirão on Sunday (21), against Vasco, also at the sacred temple.
