Gabriel Jesus banned from drinking Coke

He’s yet to kick a ball as a Manchester City player but already Pep Guardiola has laid down the rules to Gabriel Jesus. Jesus signed for City in a £27million deal from Palmeiras in the summer with the move to go through in January after helping the latter to win their first league title for 22 years.

The 19-year-old made a brief visit to his new club where he spent acclimatising to his new surroundings. He enjoyed a meal with his new manager, City director of football Txiki Begiristain and the club’s Brazilian midfielders Fernando and Fernandinho at Fazenda, which has been rated as one of Manchester’s finest Brazilian ‘rodizio’ restaurants.

Jesus’s preferred drink was a bottle of Coca-Cola. However, the forward has revealed that his choice of beverage will have to change under Guardiola’s reign. “He told me I cannot drink Coca-Cola,” Jesus admitted of the now-imposed ban to Sport.
