Back in 2014, when Brazil hosted the World Cup, Gabriel Jesus was captured painting the streets of Sao Paulo. Four years down the line, he led his country’s attack against Switzerland in Russia. What a story!

Jesus came into the World Cup on the back of a title-winning season with Manchester City and Russia could be another stepping stone in his already storied career.

He had an indifferent game against Switzerland in the 1-1 draw on Sunday and was taken off in the second half, however, the City star is expected to keep his place ahead of Roberto Firminio

Against a Costa Rican side that is likely to sit back and defend, his movements in the box will be imperative. Aided by Neymar and Coutinho from behind, he can exhibit his skills to the maximum.
