On the evening of 23 April, the 34th round of the Premier League will be in full swing, with No. 5 Gunners Arsenal at home to host the visiting Red Devils Manchester United. It was a crucial game for the fourth, and neither side had any way back. Facing The return of Manchester United, the gunners, who are slightly inferior in front, are still a bit underwhelmed. However, they have begun to prepare for the reinforcement of the front line next season, and Manchester City striker Jesus, known as Aguero's successor, is their most important target.
According to the Evening Flag and Brazilian journalist Jorge Nikola, the gunman has started in-depth talks with Jesus in the hope of taking him to the Emirates Stadium. The 25-year-old Jesus has only played in 34 games for City so far this season, scoring seven goals and 10 assists, including 3 goals and 7 assists in 23 Premier League games. Personally, it's not bad, but in Guardiola's no-front squad, Jesus has rarely appeared in the center position, and compared to Foden, Mahrez and Sterling, his playing time is also unstable, which has even affected Jesus' position in the Brazilian national team. For the World Cup at the end of the year, it is normal for him to have intentions.
The 25-year-old Jesus officially joined Manchester City in the winter window of the 2016/17 season and scored seven goals and five assists in 11 games for the team in half a season. Although he is only 1.75 meters tall, Jesus is not bad physically, and his speed and technique are quite good, and in terms of technical style, he is more suitable for Guardiola's passing and control tactical system than Aguero at that time. Of course, the two play together more powerfully, but unfortunately, in Guardiola's 4-1-4-1 formation, the two can only take turns to share the playing time. Even so, Jesus has scored 15+ goals in his first four full Manchester City seasons, and in 2019/20 he scored a double-double of 23 goals and 11 assists in 53 games in all competitions.
From the experience of the players, Jesus, who was born in the slums of Brazil, is an inspirational teenager. After City's rise to fame, a photograph of Jesus painting the streets of Brazil during the 2014 Fifaccia world cup in Brazil began to circulate, in fact, he was already the main scorer of the Palmeiras echelon at the time, but in order to increase his income and subsidize his family, he would do some chores in his spare time. Jesus has deep feelings for his family, especially his mother, and the phone call he makes after each goal is actually expressing his love for his mother. Because it is under the strict education of his mother that Jesus has always maintained a simple personality, even if he becomes the striker of the best team in the Premier League, he will not change his true colors.
Among the many big-name strikers guardiola has coached, Jesus is not the strongest in shooting and his personal ability is not the highest, but one of his qualities is greatly appreciated by Guardiola, that is, super tactical execution. In these two seasons, Jesus has not had many opportunities to play as a center forward, but even if he plays as a winger, he has worked hard without any compromise, and this season, he has become the assist king of Manchester City's squad with 10 assists. When the team needs it, he can even work the defensive end to complete the defensive interception task. The two-legged knockout match between Manchester City and Real Madrid in the 2019/20 Champions League was the best demonstration of Jesus' super tactical execution.
Arsenal manager Arteta has previously played for Manchester City as an assistant coach, and for Jesus' personal ability, The Coach is very clear, and this time he regards Jesus Jr. as the first choice to strengthen the front line, which should also be a strong recommendation from him. At present, Jesus' contract with Manchester City expires in the summer of 2023, and if he makes up his mind to leave, Manchester City has no choice but to release people in the summer, but his departure is undoubtedly a huge loss for the Blue Moon.
