Crazy thing,\u201d Jesus said. \u201cThe day before, he didn\u2019t even use [Zinchenko] in training, he had put me in as a striker. \u2026 Zinchenko even joked with me; \u2018that day I felt bad for you.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwo hours before the game, there\u2019s a team talk, the team eats, rests for 30 minutes and goes to the game. He told us the team, I didn\u2019t even eat. I went straight to the room, crying, I called my mother to talk; \u2018I want to leave.\u2019 I\u2019m going home, because he put [Zinchenko] on, and he didn\u2019t put me on. He put a left-back there. I went crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jesus replaced Zinchenko in the second half and set up the equaliser before scoring a late winner to give City a 2-1 win.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t warm up,\u201d Jesus added. \u201cI felt bad. Five minutes after [Kylian] Mbappe scored the goal for 1-0, [Guardiola] called me. I gave an assist and scored; we turned it around 2-1. In the next [Champions League] game [a 2-1 win at RB Leipzig], I thought I was going to play, and I didn\u2019t play.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was a lot of that with him [Guardiola], and it\u2019s not easy. But one [player] evolves. It is really hard. That\u2019s when I decided, I didn\u2019t want to stay anymore. And I decided to leave.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jesus joined City in January 2017 from Palmeiras and won 11 titles with the Manchester club.<\/p>\n<p>During his debut campaign at Arsenal, he scored 11 goals and set up seven more in 26 league appearances as they finished runners-up to City in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jesus with Pep Guardiola (R) Gabriel Jesus said he decided to leave Manchester City when coach Pep Guardiola made him cry after leaving him out of the starting lineup in a Champions League game.
