Brazilian goalkeeper Neto wondered why his compatriot Gabriel Martinelli qualified for the 2022 World Cup, claiming that no one knows who he is!
What did Neto say about Gabriel Martinelli?
The Gunners player was named in Tite’s roster for hitting global glory in Qatar, with Gabriel Martinelli being part of an attacking unit that also includes Vinicius Junior, Antony, Gabriel Jesus and Neymar. Flamengo player Gabigol, with 29 goals and a Copa Libertadores win to his name this season, is among those who have been overlooked, to ex-star Selecao’s disgust.
The Brazilian goalkeeper spoke about how his compatriot was called, what a shame, a joke! According to Neto, he is ashamed! Not because of Dani Alves’ history. What is the history of Gabriel? 33 career goals. He thinks it’s a shame, a lack of respect for football. This with football shows that he does not deserve the position he is in.
Calling Gabriel and not calling Gabigol is a lack of respect. The biggest shame of all calls. Gabriel’s call shows that they, Tite, should not hold the position they hold, because you are not fair to Gabigol. Neto says that Gabriel, who scores five goals in a season, who walks around the mall here, no one knows who he is … “Not Gabigol, the guy who scored a goal in the Libertadores title, who scored 29 goals in a season. What did Martinelli in European football? Arsenal are not even in the Champions League. It’s a disaster!”
