#2 Gabriel Jesus

Jesus will have to compete with Firmino for a spot in the starting eleven

The youngster has accumulated 17 appearances till date and scored 10 goals. It is simply an amazing record for the Manchester City player who is destined for success this summer. Not just is he a Brazilian to look out for in the competition, he is one of the youngsters that will definitely get everyone excited when he touches the ball.

Jesus has huge boots to fill in Russia and there is bound to be lots of pressure on him to perform his best. The 21-year-old has established himself as a regular starter under Tite who clearly admires his talent. His strengths include being able to hold onto the ball and finish off strongly in the final third of the pitch.

Playing alongside a strong midfield, Jesus will have a large number of opportunities for him to shine. The most important thing is for him to keep a cool head and perform when he is given the chance. Tite is rumored to be torn over the decision of whether to start Roberto Firmino or the Manchester City star. Both of them are extremely vital players on the Brazil team and have their unique traits.

Regardless of who will start, the Sao Paulo born player is bound to play a role in Brazil's campaign this summer. He is certainly one of those that opponents will be wary of.
