Posted by According to Ronaldo, Gabriel Martinelli of Arsenal will be a significant factor at the 2026 World Cup.
The Selecao, who was expected to win the championship in Qatar, lost in the quarterfinals.
Despite 120 minutes of play, they lost to Croatia on penalties, and coach Tite did not use Martinelli during the contest.
The 21-year-old made just one start for Brazil in Qatar, a 1-0 loss to Cameroon in their last group game.
Despite this, Ronaldo de Lima, a footballing icon, believes the 21-year-old Arsenal attacker has a very promising future.
The former Real Madrid, Barcelona, and AC Milan hero predicts that Martinelli will have a much bigger impact for Brazil at the upcoming World Cup in 2026.
Ronaldo remarked, “He is obviously a wonderful addition,” to Apostagolos.
“He is flourishing at Arsenal and displayed his promise in Qatar during the group stage. He’ll undoubtedly be noticed at the 2026 World Cup.
“What really impresses me about him is how passionate and assured he plays. We’re thrilled to have him.
