The Manchester City striker is finding form in front of goal at the right time for his nation
Having previously failed to fire at the Copa America, Gabriel Jesus has broken his mini goal drought for Brazil as they saw off Argentina 2-0 in their Copa America semi-final on Tuesday.
"I'm speechless. I consider every match to be important, even the ones I don't perform well, because I take lessons from them," Jesus said post-match.
"Tonight I was decided to score, I was very confident from the kick-off.
"I missed a chance, then I managed to score. Firmino was able to spot me well, it gave me confidence."
Brazil will now face either Chile or Peru in the Copa America final which will be hosted at the Maracana in Rio de Janeiro.
"I'm very happy not only for the goal, but for how the team performed," he said.
"Last week I've said they would struggle to break our defence. We worked hard and battled hard tonight. Unfortunately, we couldn't score against Paraguay but we grabbed the goals tonight.
"Everyone should be pleased for the match they played, for the effort. This is Brazil! We have to play every match as we've been playing, with the same spirit, that way we will achieve our goals."
Brazil last won the Copa America in 2007 and were knocked out in the group stages in 2016.
