Brazil forward Gabriel Jesus has the technical ability and mental toughness to emulate former World Cup winning striker Ronaldo, Dani Alves has said ahead of Tuesdayโs friendly against England.
Jesus has enjoyed a terrific start to his club career in England with Manchester City and the 20-year-old has also formed a potent combination with Neymar that helped Brazil book their spot in next yearโs World Cup finals in Russia.
โI wasnโt joking when I called him the new Ronaldo,โ Alves told British media of similarities to the three-times FIFA World Player of the Year. โHeโs already great and will get better. For all that heโs done, all that heโs achieved, thereโs no pressure.
โHeโs doing what he loves.โ
Brazil come into the game at Wembley on the back of a 3-1 win over Japan in a friendly on Friday.
