Gabriel Jesus surprises fans with a strange confession

Arsenal and Brazil forward Gabriel Jesus He caused consternation among fans by admitting that scoring goals was not his thing.

“There are things that worry me a lot after the 2018 World Cup. I was younger, I had a different mentality. Today, I am a more mature, more educated person with a family. I know that football is a priority for me and I know that I have to be ready to do my best, especially for Brazil.

There are things I can’t control. I train, I research, I try, I move, I help the team. I don’t think goals are my strong point, but I score goals, I’m there to score goals. I did a lot for the national team.

I will score again, it will definitely happen. This job. I work calmly, I don’t react to criticism, I don’t get happy with praise. “It was like this before, it will not be like this anymore,” said the football player.

Remember that Gabriel Jesus has 19 goals for the Brazilian national team, but has only scored one goal in friendly matches in the last 4 years.

Note that Isa returned to the field after his hamstring injury and played in the match against Argentina.

Legionnaires named the main force of the Ukrainian national team before the match with Sweden

Defender of the Ukrainian national team Alexander Svatok The blue and yellows will face the Swedish national team in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

– Despite this, the “blue-yellows” advanced to the play-offs in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers and will face Sweden in the semi-finals in March next year. What can you say about this competitor?

– The opponent is strong and authoritarian. It will be a difficult match for both teams, but our team believes in its strength. We really want to go to the World Cup.

– I can’t help but ask about the potential rivals of the Ukrainian national team at the final stage of the competition: Netherlands, Japan and Tunisia?

– It is difficult for me to say anything about the Japanese and Tunisians right now, but on paper the Netherlands will probably be seen as the favorites of this group. But I don’t want to look that far yet; We need to beat the Swedes first,” said Svatok.

In case of victory, Ukraine will play with the winner of the Poland-Albania doubles for a ticket to the World Cup. Ukraine will play the final match at home on March 31, again conditionally.

In addition to the 12 teams that finished second in their groups, the 4 winners of the Nations League quartet will also participate in the play-offs. All 16 participants are divided into 4 paths. Each route will include a semi-final and a final. The semi-finals will be held on March 26, and the finals will be held on March 31, 2026.

Infantino: This will be the biggest world championship in history

FIFA President Gianni Infantino spoke about the upcoming 2026 World Cup, which will be held in the US, Canada and Mexico.

“FIFA is the official leader of happiness for humanity.

This will be the biggest world championship in history. This is much more than just a sporting approach. This is simply the greatest decline in human history. It will be unique, prominent and unique.

Stadiums attract these millions of people. Another two, three or even many times more people came to the US, Canada and Mexico to capture the atmosphere of the World Cup. The house tournament is played for six billion dollars. That’s 104 Super Bowls in one month,” Infantino said.
