Football Galactico Roberto Carlos has backed Joelinton to earn a call-up to Brazil after his impressive campaign at Newcastle United last year.
The Real Madrid and Inter Milan legend took note of Joelinton's performances in the Premier League and expects him to continue to flourish next term. The World Cup winner has 125 caps to his name and has offered some words of encouragement to Newcastle's player of the season.
Carlos, who appeared for The Rest of the World XI vs England XI at West Ham last summer, told Chronicle Live: "Joelinton just has to keep up the good performances. He’s been putting them in and now he must make sure that he does what the coach says and make sure the fans are also happy with him.
