For a while now, the Verde-Amarela (The Green and Yellow) as the Brazilian national team are known has been crying out for a world class number 9 in the mould of the greats; Ronaldo, Romario, Ademir, Tostao and so many more, in Gabriel Jesus, they may just have found the latest one.
Fleet of foot, smile, and thinking, Jesus’ combination with golden boy Neymar has been one of the success stories of the world cup qualifiers and is expected to continue at the World Cup.
His 7 goals in 11 appearances for the national team (all in World Cup qualifying) tells its own story about the boy’s talent.
