Dani Alves Says Gabriel Jesus Is 'The New Ronaldo' and He 'Will Get Even Better'

Dani Alves has dubbed Brazil team-mate Gabriel Jesus "the new Ronaldo" and believes the striker is set to "get even better."

Alves, talking about Brazil legend Ronaldo as opposed to current world player of the year Cristiano Ronaldo, was full of praise for Jesus when he spoke at a press conference ahead of their friendly clash with England, per sports reporter Ian Abrahams:

According to Sam Cunningham of the Daily Mail, he added: "For all that he's done, all that he's achieved, there's no pressure. He's doing what he loves. I wasn't joking when I called him the new Ronaldo.
