Martinelli has forced his way in, but risky not taking Firmino’

South American football expert Tim Vickery on Sky Sports News:

“None of them [Arsenal trio Gabriel Magalhaes, Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli] were in the last squad. With Gabriel Magalhaes, he was in the squad for a while without playing and I think it became clear that the coach didn’t trust him, or didn’t trust him enough, so his exclusion is not a surprise.

“Gabriel Jesus was always in, while Gabriel Martinelli has given the coach sleepless nights. I was with the coach two or three weeks ago, after Arsenal had beaten Liverpool, and Martinelli, in the coach’s words, was the best player on the field.

“A month or so ago, I don’t think Martinelli was in the squad, but he has forced his way in through sheer week-after-week excellence for Arsenal. It has been a very difficult decision. How are you going to get him in? There were two ways.

“One was to only pick one right-back and not take Dani Alves, who is now 39. That’s the thing that is getting most of the headlines over here, that Alves – now in Mexico, without a lot of football behind him – is still included. They could have left him out, used Eder Militao at centre-back to cover the right-back position and opened up a space for a striker.

“They chose not to do that, but the fella who has been left out is Roberto Firmino of Liverpool. Brazil are taking a little bit of a risk here. Martinelli is a wide striker and Brazil have more wide strikers than they know what to do with. What they don’t have is a straight replacement for Neymar.

“They won both of their recent friendlies very well, but he picked up yellow cards in both of those games. If he does that in a World Cup, he’s suspended.

“They don’t have an obvious replacement for him in that false nine position. Firmino was their man, but they’ve decided to leave him out. That heaps responsibility on young Rodrygo to step into that role if needed.

“It’s not a surprise Richarlison is in the squad. He’s scored seven goals in his last six games for Brazil – he is their penalty area finisher. They have got plenty of players to build up the play; they need someone to finish in the penalty area and he has been the man.

“There was real worry when he limped off earlier this month, but Brazil’s doctor came over, had a look, and they are very confident he’s going to be firing on all cylinders come November 24.”
