Jorginho, an Arsenal midfielder, has stated that he frequently finds it tough to come shoulder to shoulder with his teammate Gabriel Magalhaes during training.
Jorginho admitted that he is terrified of facing the Brazilian in training.
In January, the Italian midfielder departed Chelsea for Emirates in a £12 million move.
He has now featured 16 times for the Gunners in all competitions, but he was unable to help them win the Premier League title last season.
In an interview with the Premier League’s YouTube channel, the Italy international was asked who of Granit Xhaka, William Saliba, and Gabriel he would pick to make a last-ditch tackle for his club.
According to Jorginho,
“I’d go with Gabi (Gabriel Magalhaes).” He’s a difficult cookie.
“He goes strong in those tackles.” He puts everything on the line. He’d make it, I’m sure.”
When asked if he had trained shoulder-to-shoulder with Gabriel, the Italian midfielder said, “Not a chance!” When I see him, I tell him, ‘You can go, man.'”
Gabriel, a 24-year-old Brazilian international, joined the Emirates Stadium from LOSC Lille Metropole in 2020 for a cost of €26 million.
