Gabriel Jesus says Pep Guardiola is addicted to winning matches.


The Brazilian striker says the serial trophy winner has instilled that same desire into the City team and is desperate for one more victory this season .

“Pep is so good,” said Jesus. “He’s tactical, his mentality is so good, he has a winning mentality.

“He just wants to win, win, win. It doesn’t matter how. And he works. That’s what I appreciate most about him.

“He’s a winning guy. When you want something, you fight to have it. He learns, he puts it on the pitch and it’s worked for a long time.

“That’s so good for him, for the clubs where he’s worked and for the players.”

Jesus also believes that the pain of previous Champions League disappointments has been channelled positively by the players.

Three successive quarter-final losses, he says, has helped the team develop a tougher outer-layer that has helped when things have been difficult in this season’s campaign.
