Arsenal star reveals why he left Man City

Arsenal forward and Brazil star Gabriel Jesus in a recent statement has opened up about what made him leave Manchester City for Emirate Stadium.

Jesus revealed he decided to leave Man City after the club manager Pep Guardiola made him cry.

Recall that Guardiola left Jesus out of his first squad for a Champions League match against French club PSG in November 2021.

Speaking to the “Denilson Show” podcast, Jesus said: “There was a Champions League game, PSG, at home, in which he put [Oleksandr] Zinchenko as a false 9. Crazy thing.

“The day before, he didn’t even use [Zinchenko] in training, he had put me in as a striker. Zinchenko even joked with me: ‘that day I felt bad for you.’

“Two hours before the game, there’s a team talk, the team eats, rests for 30 minutes and goes to the game. He told us the team, I didn’t even eat. I went straight to the room, crying, I called my mother to talk: ‘I want to leave.’ I’m going home, because he put [Zinchenko] on, and he didn’t put me on. He put a left-back there. I went crazy.”
