This season, Gabriel Jesus is no longer the first choice of coach Arteta. Most recently, the Brazilian striker came on as a substitute in Arsenal's defeat to Inter Milan in the Champions League. According to statistics, Jesus has only started 1 match in the Premier League after 8 appearances, without scoring or assisting any goals.
Speaking about his own difficulties, Gabriel Jesus affirmed his professionalism. He answered an interview with TNT Sports Brasil: “Well, I believe that not only me but any player, everyone wants to play regularly.
But I'm definitely not going to cause trouble at the club. I'm going to try to show that every day, in training and in games. I'm just focused on taking my chances, doing my job well and hoping something happens.
I always say that I want to improve, to do my best and help Arsenal. At the moment I am not in my best form and I don't want that. But as I said, I will try my best, try my best to play more often. Of course, the decision will be up to the coach."
Not only Gabriel Jesus, Arsenal also showed a decline this season. In the last 4 matches, Arteta and his team only won 1 victory. They fell to 5th place in the Premier League table, 7 points behind the leader Liverpool. In the next match, Jesus and Arsenal will have to enter the London battle with Chelsea, a team that is making a strong comeback this season.
