Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus has paid tribute to his colleagues at Manchester City for helping him to settle in England. The 19-year old arrived in Manchester 3 weeks ago and made his debut from the bench in Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Manchester City.

The ex Palmeiras man told City’s official website, “My colleagues and the whole club welcomed me very well. It plays a key part in my work. With everybody’s support I am adapting quickly to my new life.

“I could see the difference from the Brazilian football even playing few minutes, but I have to adapt as quick as possible. I have been here for three weeks and I came here to help and be helped as well.

The youngster thought that he had nabbed a winning goal on his debut, but his second half effort was ruled out for offside, “I thought I was onside,” he said. “But I quickly realized that the fans were not celebrating afterwards.

“That is why I kicked the corner flag angry with myself for being one step ahead. So I did not complain. We have to work hard, we still have chances and there are many matches to come.”
