Last night was certainly memorable for Gabriel Jesus, who led Arsenal’s 2-1 win over Sevilla with a beautiful assist and a gorgeous goal too.
With the win in Spain, the striker helped to keep the Gunners on top of the Champions League’s Group B, with six points after three matches.
It was a big night for him and his team, who bounced back from the disappointing defeat to Lens in the last round in convincing fashion.
After the game, Jesus spoke to the Brazilian media, talking to TNT Sports about Arsenal’s performance.
With the forward doing so well in the Champions League this season, he was asked whether he deserves to wear the number nine for the Brazilian national team again. And he had quite a long answer to that.
“Man, for a long time I was doubting my quality, not for a long time, but obviously after the 2018 World Cup I was doubting a little bit of my quality, of the player that I can be, that I am, of the qualities that I have, what I can evolve,” the striker responded.
“And about being the number nine, I’m working, I’m in my own, quiet, I close my ears, I have said many times that my greatest quality is obviously not a goalscorer like many attackers, but I can do it, I get there.
“Just as I did before, I will again try to work and come back as strong as possible. And then everything is in the hands of the coach, obviously, as always, but I playing with joy and loose, I think it will always be better for me.”
Gabriel Jesus has four goals scored this season, and three of them were in the Champions League, as he scored in the matches against PSV Eindhoven, Lens and Sevilla.
As Arsenal look fine in the European competition, it’s time for them to switch their focus back to the Premier League, as they play Sheffield United at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday. Depending on other results, the Gunners could be one win away from going to the top of the table.
