Guardiola: Gabriel Jesus is an animal

Manchester City boss Jose Guardiola has spoken about the Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus, Goal reported.

"He's passionate. I read that interview and it was perfect," Guardiola told a pre-match news conference. "It was incredibly respectful, like Gabriel is. No problem at all. Of course he wants to play. He is the number nine for Brazil. I said recently, he is maybe the only striker in the world at this level who has to have this mentality, a friendship with Sergio and all the team-mates. Every time he is on the pitch, if he plays one second, two minutes or 90 minutes, he plays like an animal. In every action he does his best. Not just Gabriel, all the players want to play all the games. It's normal. It's not a problem.”

During the current season, Jesus scored three goals and made one goal transfer in six appearances.
