Gabriel Jesus complained about playing time in Manchester City

DBasia.news –  Manchester City is five points adrift of the top of the Premier League standings, Liverpool, at this time. City is playing well enough this season.

In addition to the right tactics and strategies used by Pep Guardiola, the performance of the players seems to be given a thumbs up, especially in the front row served by Sergio Aguero and Raheem Sterling, both of which have collected 13 goals.

Unfortunately, luck is still not on one of their players, Gabriel Jesus, the Brazilian started the game more from the bench and only took part three times when his team competed in the Premier League.

This situation certainly makes him begin to be associated with the club’s exit, although still under a contract until the year 2023, Gabriel Jesus claimed to have begun to stifle because he rarely became the main choice of Guardiola.

“I have passed the ‘waiting for a chance to play’ phase. I have been at Manchester City for almost three seasons. The 2019/20 season is also the fourth season. This certainly makes me want more opportunities to appear,” said Gabriel Jesus as reported by the Daily Mail.

“Yes, it’s very difficult to compete with Sergio Aguero. He is a great legend at this club. Competition is good for the team – he also performed well when he was dropped, I also tried to do the same thing,” he added.

Gabriel Jesus finally got a chance to become a starter when The Citizens successfully advanced to the fourth round of the League Cup after beating Preston North End, the 22-year-old player also paid Pep’s confidence with a goal he printed.

Closing the conversation, despite feeling disappointed because of the lack of opportunity to play, Gabriel Jesus stressed that he still respects Pep Guardiola and Aguero.

“I understand the decision taken by Pep. The public thinks I continue to show negative reactions, but they forget if I am on the bench not because of bad performances, but because Aguero is fantastic. I am trying to understand this situation,” he explained.
