Brazil legend, Zico says Manchester City forward – Gabriel Jesus can become one of the greatest in the history of Brazil football. He says he is not surprised by the striker performances since he moved to the Premier League. Considering that many football greats have come out of Brazil, Jesus will have to do as much as turning defenders to stones (no shades intended on John Stones) to become one of the greats.
“I was not surprised because I’ve taken the word ‘surprise’ from my football dictionary. Nowadays, we see everything that happens all around the world, so you can no longer be surprised,” Zico said.
“He’s a boy that was Brazilian champion playing for one of Brazil’s biggest teams and became the Brazilian national team’s No. 9 at 19.
“I guess everybody could see that he wasn’t going to feel the difference of moving to England and playing for City, which is a spectacular team.
“If he continues to grow, he has everything to achieve that. He demonstrates everyday that he’s a great professional, with fantastic quality.
“Gabriel is a player who pursues success with hard work and competence. He has everything to become one of the greatest in Brazilian football history.”
The City striker has been an instant success following his January move from Palmeiras, scoring 7 goals in 11 appearances.
