In a prior interview, Jesus acknowledged that scoring goals wasn’t his forte, a statement he now seeks to clarify. He remains steadfast in his belief that he isn’t naturally inclined as a goal scorer but emphasizes his determination to enhance his abilities.

This season, Jesus has only managed to net two Premier League goals – one against Manchester United in September and another against Luton Town in the most recent game. However, in his four Champions League appearances, he has secured four goals.

Addressing these remarks to ESPN Brasil, as relayed by Sport Witness, he explained, “It was a moment there, after a stressful game in which there were many situations and we lost to a rival. And sometimes we get tired of talking about it, you know? It’s obvious that they’re going to hammer away at it. I’ve always been honest. And there, after the game, I felt like talking. It’s just that I put myself in a position where I think I said the wrong thing to those people who don’t make the effort to understand.

Reiterating his stance, he clarified, “I’ll say it again, but now I think it’s clearer: I don’t think scoring goals or fighting for the top scorer’s honour is my strong point, but I can improve, I want to improve and I will improve. I have other qualities too, but I score goals, I’ve scored goals that have helped the team, I’ve scored hat-tricks.”

Looking ahead, the Brazilian aims to bolster his goal count in the upcoming match against Aston Villa. If Arsenal secures victory against Villa and Liverpool falters against Crystal Palace, the team could potentially extend their lead over Liverpool by five points.
