'We like Martinelli': Brazil boss Tite explains why Gabriel made it to World Cup squad

Gabriel Martinelli earned his second call-up for Brazil by being included in their squad for the Qatar World Cup.

Reacting to his inclusion, coach Tite told reporters: "We like Martinelli's aggressiveness.

"He’s one of the top players at Arsenal, the first placed [club] in the Premier League.

"He’s good on 1v1, very rapid in transitions, he’s been keeping a good level."

Along with Martinelli, Gabriel Jesus has also made the squad after a solid season under Mikel Arteta so far.

Only Gabriel Magalhaes has been excluded, which came as a shock to many given his importance at the back.
