With Brazil having secured their place in the knockout stages of the Qatar World Cup after two wins from their opening two, boss Tite is expected to ring out the changes for their final group stage clash against Cameroon.
One of those changes is expected to be the inclusion of Arsenal star Gabriel Martinelli from the start, rather than a late cameo appearance off the bench like the one he was given against Serbia on match-day one. While that outing would have no doubt meant the world to the Gunners ace, a first start for the Selecao would mark years of relentless work coming to frution.
Of course, any player that manages to represent their country has likely done so thanks to years of hard graft, but there feels something slightly different about Martinelli's rise to the top. There's an undeniable feel-good factor, but also a sense of...'finally'.
