Gabriel Jesus names Man City star he believes is the ‘powerhouse’ in Pep’s high-energy squad
Manchester City’s roaring success under Pep Guardiola has become synonymous with a variety of tactics and styles of play.
People will remember this City squad for their pressing, passing, and slick attacking moves. But, perhaps most importantly, the team’s pure energy will be remembered.
Running – and running with a purpose – is something that all of Guardiola’s players must do.
The attackers and midfielders, on the other hand, appear to have limitless energy. Forward Gabriel Jesus revealed who he believes is the City squad’s ‘powerhouse’ in an interview with mancity.com.
“It’s also something I believe many are. Not only myself, but all of us.” Jesus said.
He continued, “But Rodri has a lot (of energy). Kyle too. But since everyone chose me, I won’t put myself off. I pick myself.”
“I love to be there working, running, everywhere, fighting, so I think it’s valid. But, I would put Rodrigo there as well. Or even Fernandinho, because of his position.”
Pep Guardiola has always admired Jesus for his tireless work rate in the press, starting City’s defensive effort all the way in the opponent’s penalty box – and at times even tracking all the way back to his own.
After spending a lot of time on the bench during the 2020/21 season, the Brazilian has regained his place in the squad this season.
And he’s had a fantastic start to the season, contributing nine goals in 14 appearances for the Premier League champions.
