Jorginho believes the midfield partnership with Marco Verratti can become a key strength for Italy. “It’s important to have courage.”
The Napoli midfielder’s uncharacteristic error gave the ball away for the opening goal by Ever Banega in a 2-0 friendly defeat to Argentina.
“The result is not good, but we created our chances and that is a positive to take from it. The negatives are that we certainly could’ve done better conceding two goals on the counter-attack,” Jorginho told Rai Sport.
“I think we did well in midfield, Verratti and I combined, played the ball to feet and swapped roles at times. It was our first match together, but we can certainly grow and improve this partnership.
“All the players have their own characteristics and can work with everyone else, the important thing is to have courage.”
