How did Manchester City perform against Crystal Palace?
We are at Selhurst Park where Manchester City have beaten Crystal Palace by two goals to nil and score of the first goal. Gabriel Jesus joins us now. Thank you so much for coming out to talk to us. Make sure you keep warm while you're here. But given how close it was last season, does every win feel like a big win?
Yeah, it's like today. We know always when we come to play against Palace, it's always difficult for us. They have good players and strong football. And this season, I think it's going to be the same because Liverpool is now eight points in front of us.
Well, five at the moment because you got the win today.
Five, sorry. But, yeah, we have to try to win every game.
All your five starts, you've scored every goal all the way from home. I bet you'd like to play some games at home as well.
Oh, it's coincidence, you know? Yeah, I have to work to improve my football all the time because I have to agree with me, you know, Is that difficult sometimes when you go in and think I might not be starting this week as a top class player like you are?
What insights did Gabriel Jesus share about the match?
Oh, yeah, it's difficult, but I cannot stop, you know. I can try every time I start the game. I have to work every transition. So, of course, always I respect the decision, the manager's decision. So I try my best every day.
Talk us through your goal, because it's a really good finish. Clinton, you like this one as well.
I like it, I like it. For me, you've got one of the best movements I've seen in and around the box. You always come alive, and that's why I want my centre forwards. But I want you to tell me how you scored the goal. Did it hit your head or did it hit your shoulder?
I tried rather, but I think it took the shoulder. So yeah, I have to improve this side because I have a difficult sometimes header. So water cross from Bernardo as well. I'm a little bit lucky.
What I was going to say to you, with players like Bernardo Silva, Kevin De Bruyne, the way they're fantastic at delivering balls into the box, is that when you just make your movement off that? If you know Kevin De Bruyne or Bernardo Silva is going to be out wide, are you just making movements into the box?
Yeah, yeah, both, but not Kevin. Kevin digged it to one today. I know, I know. the ball crossed there, so I tried to go to the ball, but I missed, so I know it's important for us, the strikers, to play with these players, you know, who cross the ball every time.
Look at the wonderful players you see. The Kevin De Bruyne cross, I remember it, first half, and you were frustrated because you just missed it by about a yard.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know he's going to cross the ball there, and all the time, cross perfect.
That's 50 goals now for Manchester City, Gabriel. When you start, you score, as Jamie was saying. How proud are you to reach that milestone?
I'm very happy, you know, because last season I had a difficult start to the season, you know. So this is going to be different for me. I work hard as well, but I focus on the goal all the time. That's why I think I score a lot.
Yeah, you do score a lot. But as you said earlier on, you feel like you're still working on your game. What are you working on?
Yeah, always in my life, I work hard on the pitch. When I go to the pitch, I forget everything outside, so that helps me a lot, you know, for working and thinking just about the game.
Will you watch tomorrow's match between Manchester United and Liverpool?
I think so, I think so.
When you're away, do you say, if it's Firmino about this and you've got to calm down?
I talked with Firmino and Fabinho on the national team last week. I said to him that both are the best of the season.
Don't mean it too much tomorrow, though, I'm sure. Yeah, yeah, please. Gabriel, thank you so much for coming out to talk to us. Good to talk to you and congratulations, not just on the goal, but on reaching that milestone as well. I can take it if you like. Thank you so much. What impressed you about his performance tonight?
Well, he started the game really well. And I think every time I watch him, he's got an appetite and a desire.
