Flexibility not an issue for Jesus

Flexibility not an issue for Jesus. Manchester City star Gabriel Jesus has said he will fulfil any role he is asked to by Citizens boss Pep Guardiola.

Brazil international Jesus has predominantly been deployed as a main striker by Guardiola since joining from Palmeiras but says it is only since arriving at the Etihad that he has been the attacking focal point.

Previously he played on the wing and featured there in City’s 2-1 win at Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie and scored the visitors’ opening goal as they came from behind to win at the Bernabeu.

Jesus says that dropping into wide areas is something he tends to do “naturally” – although he acknowledges that he needs to stay more central given the abundance of chances City’s midfielders create.

“I don’t have a preference, but most of my life I played as a winger or a second striker, never as a main striker,” Jesus told Manchester City’s official club website. “Most of my time so far at City has been as a striker, but I also played several games out wide.

“Against Real Madrid I played on the wing. Usually, when I start as a striker, I naturally tend to go for the flanks. Sometimes I get scolded, but I keep doing that!

“At City you need to stay more central because the midfielders create a lot, but I don’t always do that!”
