Manchester City playing like Brazil, says Jesus
Manchester, Oct 21 (IANS) Manchester City star forward Gabriel Jesus on Saturday reckoned his club’s playing style is almost playing in the same manner as Brazil in the ongoing season.
The Pep Guardiola-managed side are on top of the English Premier League (EPL) table with 22 points after eight matches.
Manchester City (29) have managed to score the highest number of goals so far in the EPL.
“Yes, it was almost like (Brazilian football),” Jesus, who has made 11 appearances for Brazil since 2016, was quoted saying by Sky Sports.
“In Brazil when we win with so many goals the players tend to start playing with more style and being playful. They start jumping around and it did feel more or less like this. It felt like a very beautiful way of winning that game,” the 20-year-old added.
The Brazilian international also heaped praise on coach Manchester City coach Guardiola and said he is happy to be training under him.
“Pep Guardiola is a very ambitious manager, that’s a reason why he has been able to win all the trophies he has won in his career,” Jesus who has made 17 appearances for Manchester City said.
“I am very happy to get the chance to be trained by him and I am very proud to be able to grow under his management. I hope we will carry on together and we will be able to improve even more,” Jesus added.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
