Not Scoring Made Me Want To Shoot Myself In The Head - Gabriel Jesus

Manchester City forward, Gabriel Jesus has said he wanted to shoot himself in the head when he could not score for the club. The Brazilian scored a hat-trick in Wednesday's 4-1 win vs Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League to take his tally to 5 goals in 3 games. However, this good run comes after 8 appearances with zero goals, and the youngster believes a run without finding the net can be very disappointing for any striker. His words, "Honestly, last month I was no good and I wasn't happy. I played eight or nine games and I didn't score and I missed chances so I'm not happy with that,” he said. "When this happens of course I cannot be happy. Sometimes football is like that. You have to keep working hard and try to score, try to help the team and work and that's what I have done. “Always I think: ‘Wow I have to score’ because I'm playing for a big club in big competitions with big players. “I think it happens with other players. I cannot talk about other players I can only talk about me when I’m not happy with me I want to shoot myself in the head because it's difficult for me. “I take it [personally] of course. I think: ‘Oh my god I have to score, I have to score, I have to score’. When I have the chance sometimes I miss because I think too much and put too much pressure on myself. I try. I'm getting better. I’m working to score and don’t think about the pressure.” On scoring more than 100 goals in his career, he said, “I'm a blessed guy,” “I try all the time to do my best and sometimes I cannot do it and that's the way. “It's important for me to score goals and keep scoring goals because I have to. I'm at a big club and play with big players. “I’m in a single competition with Sergio - a friendly competition. I hope that when he plays he scores. I always want him to help the team and his team-mates. When I play he does the same, which is amazing. “I have to learn from him because he's scored a lot for the club and throughout his career. And I'm happy with 101 goals in my career.”
