Ronaldo says that Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli will be a big part of the 2026 World Cup.
The Selecao, which 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 football icon, believes the 21-year-old Arsenal attacker has a very promising future.
The former star player for Real Madrid, Barcelona, and AC Milan thinks that Martinelli will be much more important to Brazil at the 2026 World Cup.
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.
