I am not Convinced on Jesus yet--Rivaldo

It isn’t any more a news that Gabriel Jesus has been firing on all cylinders ever since his arrival at Arsenal, but for Brazilian legend, Rivaldo he is not quite convinced on the player just yet.

The Brazil legend revealed he had quite the conversation with the former Manchester City player, revealing what he had told him right after their victory against Chelsea in the Florida cup final pre-season friendly.

It was a 4-0 win against their London rivals, Chelsea in which Gabriel Jesus shone his talents greatly, but Rivaldo expressed his worry on his compatriot keeping the focus on the games that matter.

The Brazil legend revealed he spoke to his compatriot after the game and wished Jesus all the best moving forward, but he did express his worry.

While speaking to Betfair in an analysis session, Rivaldo said:

“I spoke with Jesus after the Chelsea match, wishing him the best in this new phase of his career, praising his qualities as a player, and asking him to keep focused to start the new season very strongly.

“How he starts at the club will probably be crucial to his success with the Brazilian national team at the World Cup.

“I can only hope that he produces the goods for the Gunners early on – starting when Arsenal go to Crystal Palace next Friday – and heads to Qatar in top form as Brazil’s bid to win a sixth World Cup.”

Rivaldo’s main focus on Gabriel Jesus’ game at Arsenal relates on how fit he can be to playing a part in the Brazilian squad ahead of the World Cup, which had a lot of factors to why the former Manchester City man left the Etihad for the Emirates.
