VILA, Imbituba, Santa Catarina / Brazil ( Sunday, June 5, 2011) – The young Brazilian, Gabriel Medina wins the ASP PRIME Supersurf Internacional Prime with a perfect 10 in spectacular conditions with sunny skies no wind and long left-handers breaking in the 6-8 foot range (2-3 meters) along Praia da Vila in the final day of competition against veteran Australian surfer an emotional Medina thanked the crowd on the beach for cheering him on “I don’t know what to say,” said Gabriel Medina “I won the event two years ago in Florianopolis when I was 15 It’s the first time I surfed here at Praia da Vila and I wanted to do well I brought my entire family and I felt right at home I just wanted to thank everyone here in Imbituba and my sponsors Tom Whitaker (AUS) started off the final heat scoring a 6.83 But Medina came back by paddling into a wave and began by throwing a big frontside air followed by consecutive turns ending in another big air scoring a 9.10 out of a possible 10 points With the support from the crowd on the beach an inspired Medina added on a perfect 10 point ride on a wave that saw him start off by boosting another big frontside aerial followed by a cutback and another series of sensational turns at Praia da Vila “Gabriel was the best surfer of the event It’s nice to see a young surfer winning such an important event as this one I think the future of Brazilian surfing is guaranteed and I think everyone should be proud to have such a talented surfer I’ve had good results here (Whitaker was the Runner-Up at the Brazilian ASP World Tour event in 2004) and so I’m happy with a good finish.” In the semifinal heat against Richard Christie (NZL) Gabriel Medina was able to show his speed and vast repertoire of progressive surfing by throwing a “Superman” and several stylish laybacks “I really wanted to make it into the Final but there wasn’t much I could do with Gabriel (Medina) surfing the way he did,” said Richard Christie (NZL) “I watched his heat against Damien (Hobgood) and he was throwing one crazy air after another I knew he was going to do the same thing against me He deserves congratulations and I’m happy with my result here because I earned some valuable ranking points.” Christie went from number 55 on the ASP World Ranking to number 44 Gabe Kling (USA) who also made it to the semifinals jumped from 47th to 41st with the 4,225 points he received with his equal 3rd place finish at Imbituba “I even thought I won on that last wave I caught I think maybe I needed a stronger first turn The waves were great the whole day and I

In the afternoon of December 30, a Kaingang mother was breastfeeding her 2-year-old son while sitting on the sidewalk outside a bus station in the city of Imbituba They had been sleeping there for a few days together with a group of other indigenous people who had made the the eight-hour journey by bus from the city of Chapecó to Imbituba in order to sell their handcrafted art the end of the year is when its famous beaches are flooded with tourists coming from other states and neighboring countries such Uruguay and Argentina Many indigenous people see the influx of visitors as an opportunity to make some money by selling their art it’s common to see groups staying in bus stations to be closer to their potential customers The young mother was holding her baby while resting her back against the wall when a stranger approached them. Security camera footage showed that the man first touched the baby’s face and then cut his throat with a small blade This brazen murder of a toddler, killed in his mother’s arms in broad daylight, didn’t make headlines in Brazil. Few media bothered to report what happened. As expressed by journalist Eliane Brum, writing in her column for Spanish newspaper El País: ou de qualquer mulher branca de classe média haveria especialistas analisando a violência E talvez houvesse até velas e flores no chão da estação rodoviária or any other white middle-class woman’s child there would be specialists analyzing violence there would be crying and there would be solidarity And maybe there would be candles and flowers at the bus station’s floor as the ones’ laid out for the victims of terrorism in Paris Illustration of a fight between indigenous people and militias during Brazil's Colonial era para os indígenas nada mudou […] Esse preconceito contra os indígenas chega até os dias de hoje Tanto é que matar um indígena na rodoviária de Imbituba é um crime muito menor do que matar uma criança branca numa rodoviária de Florianópolis nothing changed for the indigenous peoples […] This prejudice against indigenous peoples prevails today So much so that killing an indigenous individual at Imbituba’s bus station is apparently a much smaller crime than killing a white child in a Florianópolis [state capital] bus station Elaine Tavares, a journalist based in Santa Catarina where Vitor was killed, notes that when Spanish and Portuguese explorers arrived in Latin America indigenous people were branded “non-humans Ao longo de todos esses séculos foi sendo construída uma imagem negativa do indígena justamente para que pudesse ser justificada a invasão e o roubo de suas terras e riquezas Por isso que o melhor acaba sendo confiná-los em alguma “reserva” longe dos olhos das gentes se eles decidem sair e dividir a vida no mundo branco a negative image of indigenous peoples has been built Indigenous peoples are seen as something standing in the way an uncomfortable remembrance of the massacre That is why the best solution ends up being to confine them in some “reserve,” away from other people's eyes But if they decide to go out and share the white world’s life suicides among the tribe are 12 times higher than the national average Indigenous people protest outside Brazil's Supreme Court Throughout the entire country, with some differences in the regional context from state to state, Brazil's indigenous struggle to get their lands recognised and demarcated. While waiting, many have to live on the side of highways or on the streets. President Dilma Roussef’s government has the worst record of demarcation in 30 years Two days after Vitor's murder, the 23-year-old suspect turned himself to the police confessing to killing the toddler He decided to come forward because he said he feared for his life Some have speculated that he may be psychologically disturbed But if there's not much to say about his killer yet, Vitor's death speaks volumes about how Brazil treats its native peoples. In the words of Eliane Brum: Quem continua morrendo de assassinato no Brasil Ela suja de sangue o pequeno corpo de Vitor por quem tão poucos choraram Those who continue to die by murder in Brazil It stains with blood the small body of Vitor for who so little have cried ERROR: SECURITY TIMEOUT - Please copy your message to a backup location Global Voices stands out as one of the earliest and strongest examples of how media committed to building community and defending human rights can positively influence how people experience events happening beyond their own communities and national borders Please consider making a donation to help us continue this work Donate now though not surprising if you’ve ever been to Brazil when he arrives in prison he could be killed because of his cruel crime was suspected followers of Satanism and has nothing to do with the people at large Indigenous people all over the world get treated as less than human We had our own horrifying case in Malaysia this past year (search for Pos Tohoi Orang Asli school children) No country should crow about “development” until all segments of the population are treated fairly Authors, please log in » Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" Stay up to date about Global Voices and our mission.

childhood friends called him Haginho after his idol the legendary Romanian playmaker Gheorghe Hagi he is called 'Il Professore' (The Professor) or 'Radio Jorginho' due to his leadership and organizational skills as well as his continuous communication during games Jorginho is from Brazil and was born in Imbituba Jorginho is Italian through his paternal great-grandfather and this helped him earn Italian citizenship after moving there from Brazil and Imbituba’s population (his place of birth) is largely occupied by people of Portuguese Jorginho chose to play for Italy because they helped him become the player he is Speaking on his decision to play for Italy Brazil never gave me the chance to fulfill my dream Jorginho plays as a central midfielder or defensive midfielder for English Premier League club Arsenal and the Italy national team He specializes in linking defense to midfield as he often operates as a deep-lying playmaker Jorginho trialed with three of Brazil’s biggest clubs: Sao Paulo he was scouted at age 13 to join a soccer school in Guabiruba moving from there to Italy two years later to join Verona’s academy After helping Verona reach Serie A for the first time in 11 years in 2014 and subsequently achieving the top four the midfielder moved to Napoli on January 18 where Maurizio Sarri developed him into a star Jorginho signed a five-year deal with

jubilantly celebrated with his fellow Bayern Munich players Matthew Amalfitano reports on the Napoli midfielder making a big impact in Serie A.. just began his first full season with Napoli Born Jorge Luiz Frello Filhoin in Imbituba Jorginho moved to northern Italy with his family when he was a teenager He then joined Verona’s youth setup and rose through the ranks 2010 was a big year for the starlet as he was loaned out to Serie C2 side AC Sambonifacese for a taste of senior football Jorginho’s quality shined brightly in his one-year spell at the club as he registered 10 assists in 31 appearances.Returning to his parent club Verona the next season Jorginho helped them reach the Serie B promotion play-offs the 2012/13 season saw a Jorginho-inspired Verona finish second The player made 41 league appearances and also netted three goals in the Coppa Italia Jorginho’s impressive displays for Verona in his debut Serie A season caught the attention of many clubs after scoring seven goals in 18 appearances but the regista was snatched up in January by Napoli to aid their midfield quandary Jorginho acting as a deep-lying regista is odd in the age of less-specialised player roles and he attracted attention from Premier League giants Arsenal and Liverpool before signing a co-ownership deal with the Partenopei The midfielder has just returned from injury but has not taken long to impress and should soon permanently recapture his starting place in Napoli’s double pivot.Although not yet capped for Italy Jorginho is likely the future of the national team And wouldn’t a potential midfield duo of Jorginho and Marco Verratti be something special to watch The 22-year-old is one of Napoli’s best performers and will again help lead the charge for a Champions League place Jorginho’s qualities lie in his vision and passing ability minus the glorious beard and philosophical mystique Jorginho’s distribution is exceptional and he possesses the ability to place long diagonal passes or unlock the defence with a quick The regista averaged an 89.6% pass-completion rate for Napoli last season.His tactical awareness is also very good with intelligent positioning to consistently break up play he averaged 2.41 tackles and 2.41 interceptions per game at Verona last year The pacey midfielder’s work-rate is certainly noteworthy; his agent Joa Santo stated that Jorginho “runs 12km a game” footwork and technique that stem from his Brazilian roots Playing in front of the defence requires the type of player that is both physically imposing and great in the air The midfielder’s weak frame makes it easy for opponents to muscle him off the ball while last season for Napoli he was successful in just 2 of 11 aerial duels he contested “Jorginho worked hard to have this opportunity,” agent Santo told TuttoMercatoWeb when the player signed for Napoli adding further that his player “wants to play for Napoli with the same professional attitude he had at Verona He wants to do well in a club with a great tradition behind it.”Coach Rafael Benitez was impressed by the youngster’s first start for Napoli telling Rai Sport: “He is the kind of player who can help us change attitude during a match and that is important.” Legal issues denied Jorginho the chance to represent Italy at the World Cup The 22-year-old obtained an Italian passport through family ties but will soon have spent enough time in Italy to be considered a naturalised citizen the player himself said that he has to wait until after December 22 to make his Azzurri debut There is still heavy interest from Brazil to cap him but Jorginho seems to have preferred Italy citing the time spent growing up in the country as an influential reason Co-ownership deals in Italian football were formally abolished at the end of last season but a one-year grace period was allowed for current deals Napoli must buy Jorginho outright for €5 million when the deal ends in June 2015 Jorginho will continue to be monitored by Italy head coach Antonio Conte Expect the youngster to compete for a starting place in Italy’s stacked midfield once he is eligible to play He could become an important element of the Azzurri’s qualifying run to Euro 2016 and beyond the sandy beaches and blue waters of Imbituba in southern Brazil offer a peaceful paradise – but for the midfield maestro Jorginho they are the roots of his footballing education The Chelsea star was instrumental in helping Italy win the Euros while his rejuvenation under Thomas Tuchel led the Blues to a famous Champions League win over Premier League rivals Manchester City it's with no surprise that the incredible playmaker is the favourite to land the UEFA Men's Player of the Year award ahead of team-mate N'Golo Kante and Belgium ace Kevin de Bruyne it's actually is mum who Jorginho credits for his amazing rise "My mother played football so I learned a lot from her,” Jorginho revealed in 2013 "She still plays today and understands a lot She would take me to the beach with a ball and I would spend the whole afternoon doing technical work in the sand." Jorginho’s mother Maria Tereza Freitas wanted her son to be prepared for anything and everything in the game She wanted him to be one step ahead of his opposition "I was raised to face problems," he said — and there were plenty of them on his path to stardom Jorginho cannot have forecast his parents’ separation at the age of six She would spend most of her day working as a cleaner to put food on the table and earn enough money to buy her son boots and a ball while taking him to play for his local team Bruscão The bond between them was so strong that the memory of having to move 180 kilometres away from her and home at the age of 13 still upsets him today I feel a lump in my throat," Jorginho the youngster was selected as part of a project formed by Italian businessmen in Guabiruba to create the next wave of brilliant Brazilians Yet it is far from the state-of-the-art facilities of Chelsea’s academy in Cobham nor the monotonous meals that rarely changed he was one of a select few chosen to join Verona then in the second tier of Italian football Jorginho’s first deal at the club was far from lucrative While the agent took £27,000 from the transaction the emerging midfielder had just £18-a-week to live on A large chunk of that went on keeping in touch with his mum who managed to convince him to continue his football education after he threatened to quit the young boy struggled to fit in to his new surroundings He couldn't live in a boarding school with his other team-mates the former chief executive of Hellas Verona gave Jorginho to a trusted priest and he lived in a convent and the rest was used online to talk to my family I trained with the professionals and when I met the Brazilian goalkeeper Rafael Pinheiro Jorginho earned himself the nickname 'The Wolf of the Future' Prisciantelli told the MailOnline: "Everyone recognises the determination of a lion, to me he is a wolf. "He works three times as hard on the pitch and harder than anyone else. "Every night tears fell in that dark and sad room (with the priest). But I know that he never gave up. "I bought some equipment to set up a small gym at the sports centre. He would arrive at dawn and keep going until we allowed him to leave." After a successful loan spell with Serie D side Sambonifacese, Jorginho returned to Verona and excelled, making his first-team debut as an 18-year-old in September 2011. He was a key figure in their promotion-winning side in 2013 and earned a move to Italian giants Napoli six months later. During his time at the Stadio San Paolo, Jorginho learned about Chelsea after rooming with Nathaniel Chalobah, the former Blues midfielder on loan to Napoli in 2015. For three years, Jorginho worked under former Blues boss Maurizio Sarri in Naples - and they were briefly reunited in West London. The Italian coach knew his qualities well. “Jorginho is not a physical player, he is a technical player,” Sarri said. “The most important quality is that he is very quick in the mind.” Sarri left the club in 2019, and Jorginho could have been forgiven for thinking his time in West London might've been up. Worse still, with new boss Frank Lampard at the helm, he found himself frozen out of the first team. "Look, I’ll be really sincere here on Lampard,’ Jorginho told ESPN Brasil. "I believe, given he was a legend at the club, he skipped some steps necessary for learning before moving to a big club. "He came to a club where he is a legend, without having experience at other clubs. I think he came too soon, skipped a few steps ahead and wasn’t ready for a job at this level, to be honest." who restored Jorginho to his starting line-up understanding his qualities on the pitch and helped him rediscover his form at the tail-end of last season It not only helped the Blues lift their second Champions League title but also benefited Italy at Euro 2020 who overcame England in a tense final in a penalty shootout - with Jorginho one of the stars of the show throughout the tournament The beaches of Imbituba will always be a classroom to them
