“I began playing football on the streets.” — Gabriel Jesus Quote

I began playing football on the streets.

I am very self-critical and always will be. I think this makes me want to improve, always. But just because I'm self-critical and say what I thought of my performance in a game, it doesn't mean I will bring myself down, ever.

I remember when I was playing for Pequeninos, I'd see some of the kids after the match with their fathers, and I was alone. That was heavy for me. It marked me.

When I have the ball at my feet, I'm in different world.

I grew up very quickly because of the difficulties and responsibilities that I have always had.

I love putting in work for the city that raised me with my foundation SaveMoneySaveLife, and putting resources into the streets of Chicago.

At the end of the day, I was listening to the big homies and they were saying, 'Yo, man, you got talent, man, stay off the streets.'

I am more interested in people's attitude than someone who is a perfect face. Every time I walk the streets of London, I see someone who interests me. It doesn't matter how old they are.

I was lusted after walking down the streets of New York.

Growing up in the streets of Bed-Stuy, it was hard, yo.
