Jorginho has spoken again in Brazil about the pace of events since his move from Arsenal. The midfielder joined Flamengo in September and has won two major titles only a few months into his first experience in Brazilian football.
Speaking to Globo Esporte, he admitted that everything has happened so quickly that he has barely had time to process it.
“There hasn’t been much time to stop and let it sink in. Everything is happening so fast,” Jorginho said, reflecting on his first months back in Brazil after his Arsenal experience.
Happiness with the decision
The former Arsenal player stressed how happy he feels with the choice he made. He explained that, despite some uncertainty before the move, the transition has been smoother and faster than expected.“I’m really very happy, because when I make a choice, that choice is a happy one,” he said.
Jorginho admitted there were doubts before arriving. He had never played in Brazil before and did not know how long adaptation would take. Still, he felt confident he would settle.“I was sure I would adapt well, but I didn’t know how long it would take,” he explained.

Now involved in a double-winning campaign and international fixtures, the midfielder described the experience as intense but rewarding.“It’s something that is happening very fast, but at the same time it’s very enjoyable. It’s been very special,” he said.
Brazilian coverage highlights how Jorginho has become a central figure in Flamengo’s season in a short space of time. After leaving Arsenal, he has quickly found himself at the heart of one of the most demanding environments in South American football.
How this rapid rise will shape the next steps of his career remains to be seen. For now, Jorginho continues to enjoy a moment that he admits barely gives him time to pause.
