In an official interview with the club, Jesus revealed a bit about his path to soccer and how the culture of Brazilian soccer has shaped his style of play. He revealed that he will retain his individuality while following the club's tactics despite the changing years.
When it comes to strategy in the game, Jesus believes that intuition and experience go hand in hand. He elaborates, "Intuition and experience, both. Sometimes you don't have to think much, you just have to act, and sometimes you have to think a lot in order to deal with a certain situation. This balance is crucial when you are ahead, behind, at the end of the game or fighting for possession."
Recalling his transition from his hometown Anhangra minor team to Palmeiras' youth camp, Jesus exclaimed that it was the starting point for him to receive professional training and improve his skills on the ball. The experience laid a solid foundation for his later performances in the first team and the national team.
Jesus' life was turned upside down when he joined Manchester City in 2017. He mentioned the differences in climate, language and diet, as well as the physical intensity of the Premier League. But he also said that the help of the club and his family and friends helped him make the right choice.
Regarding what it takes to succeed in the Premier League, Jesus believes that he has adapted to the way he plays here and has learned some effective strategies that help his team. He appreciates Yaya Toure's advice and has retained the Brazilian style while being flexible and adapting it to the club's needs.
When asked if he was considering becoming a coach in the future, Jesus said he didn't think he was suited to the role at the moment. He has learned a lot from coaches but is not sure he is up to it. He is more focused on his playing career, but in the future, anything is possible.
