Southampton v Manchester City - Premier League — Gabriel Jesus should start ahead of Firmino at the World Cup

#2 Gabriel Jesus is a more talented finisher

Manchester City v Huddersfield Town - Premier League — Jesus is a pure number 9

Jesus's overall contribution to the team is much lower in comparison to Firmino. But that is not so important for Tite's style of play. Jesus is a pure number 9 with a lot of potential. He is also a more talented finisher than Firmino.

These facts make Jesus more suitable for the Selecao. Jesus has been injured for the majority of this season, but despite that, he scored 17 goals in 42 appearances for Pep Guardiola's team.

Brazil have a very creative midfield and because of that Firmino's creativity isn't as vital. Jesus is a slightly better option against teams that play deep.
