Former Brazil star Neto has lashed out at the "joke" decision to include Gabriel Martinelli in his nation’s World Cup squad - and also took aim at his Arsenal team-mate Gabriel Jesus.
Selecao boss Tite named his squad for the upcoming tournament in Qatar earlier this week with the five-time winners aiming to add to their record-breaking haul. Having not lifted the famous trophy since 2002, the squad has a far younger look to it. Jesus, 25, has been included following his bright start to life at Arsenal, while 21-year-old Martinelli has also done enough to earn a place.
Despite the pair’s performances so far this season, Neto is far from convinced and has staged a sensational rant at Tite’s decision to select Martinelli instead of Flamengo striker Gabriel Barbosa.
