Gabriel Jesus has insisted that he and Argentine striker Sergio Aguero can play together for Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City in the aftermath of their resounding 6-1 win over Huddersfield Town on the weekend.
“Our team has six players capable of playing in the attack, all of them really good,” Jesus expressed.
An injury to Kevin De Bruyne and Guardiola’s decision to rest wingers Riyad Mahrez, Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane saw the Sky Blues trot out in an unfamiliar 3-5-2 formation against the Terriers.

“Pep opted for Sergio and myself, just like he has done last season and I think there was only one match where we didn’t so well – but usually when we both play together we do a great job.We can indeed play together!”
However with Jesus and Aguero starting together, the home fans needn’t have worried as the Sky Blues put the hapless visitors to the sword.
“Sergio and I have the spirit of scoring goals and always try to finish well. I’ve started this season with the aim to get better with my finishes, to keep helping the team.”

Aguero nabbed yet another hat-trick, while Jesus helped himself to a strike and an own goal rounded off the scoring on the night as City once again, proved that they are the team to beat.
“Pep is super intelligent and he knows what the team needs and when and of course, I’ll be always at his disposal whenever I’m called upon. I’ll always keep the same spirit.”

Next up is a trip to the Molineux Stadium and after the new system’s resounding success, Guardiola may be tempted to stick with the same when they take on Wolverhampton Wanderers.
“Our season started really well against Arsenal last week, especially as it was away which obviously made it even harder. We wanted to start strongly at home and our team did a great job against Huddersfield – we did what we’ve been practising and were asked to do, and the result is there.”
With two wins from two and a goal difference of +7, the defending champions are topping the Premier League table.
