Gabriel Jesus has had the privilege of working under both Pep Guardiola and Hansi Flick during his career and has offered a bit of insight into the differences between the two coaches.
The Brazilian star, [who swapped Arsenal for Barcelona in the summer](/fc-barcelona-transfer-rumors-news/131249/gabriel-jesus-lowered-salary-significantly), says Guardiola is more tactical than Flick but feels both approaches are effective.
> “Guardiola was much more tactical, with a plan based on building from the back which did in a league where it’s not common,” he told the club’s media.
>
> “With Flick, you have to be yourself, play simply when necessary, and run, press, and help out much more. Both approaches work and produce results.”
Jesus has been reunited with some familiar faces at Barcelona. He played alongside both Joao Cancelo and Rodri during his time with Guardiola at Manchester City and has been happy to see the Portugal star once again.
> “I get along very well with everyone, but, as I’ve already said, I had many experiences with Joao Cancelo during my time with Manchester City . I talk to him a lot. Yes, I’d say Joao,” he added.
>
> “I think everyone is a good person. It wasn’t a surprise because I’d already been told that the dressing room was one of this team’s strengths.”
The Barcelona striker was one of the few Barcelona players not involved with their national teams over the international break. He will be hoping for game time on Saturday when Flick’s side return to action against Getafe.
