In statements conceded in previous press conference to the party of Premier League against the Leicester City, Guardiola compares even to Gabriel Jesus with Samuel Eto'or, to the one who had under his orders during a season in the FC Barcelona.

"It is one of the most fighting forwards that have found in my career, remembers me a bit to Samuel Eto'or in how helps us in the pressure", ensures the one of Santpedor, although it gives him margin of improvement. "Still it can improve, in the first controls and other appearances, but has the potential to turn into one of the best".

"Gabriel Jesus is one of the most fighting forwards that have found"

"It is a fantastic boy", adds. "What has changed since it arrived? Especially that the first time that spoke with him by telephone do not know neither if we understood us. He did not speak English, neither I Portuguese, so it went a bit comic the truth.  But it is a fantastic boy. Only by the fact that it chose us to us, when had to all Europe behind, says a lot of him. Have a lot of hopes in him".

The Manchester City lost 4-2 against the Leicester City of Ranieri the past season, and Guardiola does not want that it repeat the history. "The party in Leicester of the past season was one of the lowest points of my path here. Still they have a lot of mechanisms of the past season, especially with Vardy and Mahrez. It is one of the hardest parties that have".

And, in spite of the spotless winning series of the Manchester City, Guardiola thinks that they still have to improve. "This does not go on breaking records, are not here for this. What have to understand is that always it can improve, and have to follow doing it. My feeling is that still there are a lot of things that can do better. In terms of results all has gone very well, but still have to improve to control better in some situations of party", has concluded the Catalan technician.
