Gabriel Jesus compares Guardiola and Flick after Barcelona move

Gabriel Jesus, now at Barcelona after joining from Arsenal, compared his former Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola with current coach Hansi Flick. He said Guardiola was more tactical and focused on building from the back, while Flick asks players to express themselves, press, and work harder off the ball. Jesus also mentioned his strong relationship with Joao Cancelo and is hoping to play against Getafe on Saturday.

Gabriel Jesus moved from Arsenal to Barcelona during the summer. He previously played under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, where he shared a squad with Joao Cancelo and Rodri. Now at Barcelona, he works with Hansi Flick.

Jesus described Guardiola's approach as more tactical and rooted in playing out from the back, even in a league where that style was not common. He said Flick encourages self-expression, simple play when needed, pressing, and greater off-ball effort. He added that both methods deliver results. He has reunited with Cancelo, speaks with him often, and called the dressing room a team strength. He was not on international duty and hopes to feature Saturday against Getafe.
