Brazil captain Dani Alves has hailed Gabriel Jesus as the side's "new Ronaldo" as they prepare for Tuesday's friendly with England.
The visitors to Wembley are among the favourites for next summer's World Cup in Russia, owing largely to the potent combination of Gabriel and Neymar in the final third, and have improved considerably since Tite's appointment as manager in June 2016.
Their last World Cup victory was inspired by Ronaldo in 2002 but Gabriel's continued emergence for Manchester City and his country has increased optimism surrounding their chances.
"I wasn't joking when I called him the new Ronaldo," Alves said.
