Brazil lucky to have Gabriel Jesus, Roberto Firmino, says Pep Guardiola

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says that Brazil are lucky to have both Gabriel Jesus and Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino for the FIFA 2018 World Cup.

Brazil face a selection dilemma whether to start with his team’s striker Gabriel Jesus or Liverpool’s Roberto Firmino at the World Cup.

Jesus scored 17 goals across all competitions for Premier League champions City this season while Firmino has netted 27 to help Liverpool secure a fourth-placed league finish and reach the Champions League final.

“Lucky for Brazil that they have two incredible strikers. Gabriel has an energy, his desire is contagious, his movement… I think that this will calm down with age. Firmino is older, has already played in other places,” Guardiola told ESPN.
