Style of play . Jorginho is known for his composure and versatility as a footballer , which allows him to be fielded in any midfield position . Due to his work-rate , technique , football intelligence , ability to break down possession , vision , and passing accuracy , he is usually deployed as central midfielder in a three-man midfield in a 4–3–3 formation . Although he is not imposing physically , due to his slender build and relatively short stature , he is also capable of playing both in a box-to-box role or in a defensive role as a ball winner , courtesy of his tactical intelligence , positional sense , awareness , and ability to read the game , which enables him to cover ground , press opponents further up the pitch , intercept passes , and start attacking plays after winning back the ball . However , he usually operates in a more withdrawn creative role , as a deep-lying playmaker in front of the back-line , a position known as the regista role in Italian football jargon , which allows him more time on the ball to control the tempo of his teams play with his short , precise , horizontal passing game on the ground . He is also an accurate penalty taker . Honours .
