Gabriel Jesus Praises Barcelona Teammates’ Talent and Hansi Flick’s Attacking Style

Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus highlighted how easy it is to play for FC Barcelona thanks to his teammates’ talent and playing style. Following the 3-0 victory over Getafe in LaLiga, the forward explained that Barcelona’s collective approach makes life easier for strikers and helps them create more goal-scoring opportunities.

WHAT DID THE BRAZILIAN FORWARD SAY?

“Being in Barcelona is a dream for me. Playing with these players is very easy because they all play very well and always have the ball at their feet,” Gabriel Jesus said in an interview with DAZN.

The Brazilian explained that the team’s ability to maintain possession and move the ball helps attackers find space and receive passes in dangerous positions. For the former Arsenal striker, sharing the pitch with such talented players is a significant advantage that can translate into more goal-scoring opportunities.

“That makes it much easier for us strikers to get chances. And I’m ready to score goals,” the forward added, emphasizing his determination to capitalize on the opportunities created by Barcelona’s attacking system.

HANSI FLICK’S PLAYING STYLE MAKES ATTACKING EASIER

Gabriel Jesus also highlighted the influence of head coach Hansi Flick, particularly the confidence he instills in his players. The striker believes Barcelona’s strong collective performance allows the team to create chances consistently, although he stressed the importance of being clinical inside the penalty area.

“We’re playing very well and we’re going to have chances. We just have to score when we get into the box,” he said.

The Brazilian started against Getafe because his compatriot Raphinha was sidelined with an injury. Jesus expressed his hope for the winger’s speedy recovery, acknowledging that Barcelona misses his contribution while remaining confident in the team’s attacking capabilities.

GABRIEL JESUS WANTS TO TURN CHANCES INTO TROPHIES

Following his spell at Arsenal, Gabriel Jesus faces the challenge of establishing himself in Spanish soccer. His priority is to take advantage of Barcelona’s possession-based style to contribute goals and help the team achieve its objectives.

“I’ve played for other teams that scored a lot of goals, and now I’m at another team that scores a lot, too,” he said.

The striker made it clear that his ambitions go beyond individual performances: he wants to win matches and lift trophies with Barcelona. To achieve that goal, he will look to turn the opportunities his teammates make easier to create into goals, making the most of the Catalan club’s attacking system.

HOW HAS GABRIEL JESUS PERFORMED SINCE JOINING BARCELONA?

Since joining Barcelona from Arsenal, Gabriel Jesus has made an impressive start to the season.

The Brazilian striker has scored three goals in five appearances across all competitions, finding the net in both LaLiga and the Champions League.

Jesus scored in Barcelona’s 5-1 victory over Feyenoord in the Champions League, also found the net in a 7-2 win against Racing de Santander, and added another goal in the 3-0 victory over Getafe in LaLiga.

The forward has converted all three of his shots on target into goals, boasting a 100% conversion rate for shots on target. He has played just 123 minutes, including seven in the Champions League and 116 in LaLiga. His only start came against Getafe, where he played 82 minutes. He came off the bench against Valencia (nine minutes), Racing de Santander (21 minutes) and Sevilla (four minutes).
