Ronaldo believes Gabriel Jesus has what it takes to become a football superstar

Jesus suddenly became the next thing when Brazil’s Ronaldo came out on record and said that he saw many similarities between him and the then Palmeiras striker. In a TV interview, Ronaldo said:

"I see many similarities between us. He is young and is already very successful with a lot of responsibility. He has a footballing career ahead of him and is already delighting us with what he does."

Back then, Jesus had just made it to the Brazilian squad which was gearing for the Olympics and all eyes were on the Selecao to win the Olympic Gold in Football. The team surely did not disappoint as they beat Germany on penalties to clinch the gold medal.
