“The Varzea is kind of like street basketball in America or like the se...” — Gabriel Jesus Quote

The Varzea is kind of like street basketball in America or like the semi-professional football leagues in Europe. The pitches are all dirt, and you're playing against the marmanjo - the 'hard men.' It's known for being extremely physical.

My dream in a City shirt is to win titles, to be happy, and to make all Manchester City's fans happy, too.

I can't put my mind to anything else. I'm not interested in hanging out or partying. For me, it's all about the pitch: training, playing. But even when I go home, afterwards, it's football the whole time. I think I'm obsessed!

I have the best family, and I receive the best guidance.

I love basketball. I mean, I watch basketball pretty intensely.

Shooting is really the easiest facet of basketball.

I'm competitive. You can ask my family. Even if it's not basketball, it's anything.

I love all the leagues - the NBA, the D-League, I love Euro League, I love the second division of the ACB, I love playing basketball.

One moment my dad and I were swapping stories about the basketball games; a few hours later he was gone. Forever. Just like that, with no goodbyes.
