Gabriel Jesus snubs rivals, hails Palmeiras bond: “Never broken” | OneFootball

Currently at Arsenal in England, Gabriel Jesus once again praised Palmeiras, the club where he came through the ranks. The striker revealed that he keeps up with Verdão’s day-to-day life and still has a very strong connection with the green-and-white side, which he said he hopes to play for again in the future.

“I’m able to follow them quite closely. This bond between me and Palmeiras has never been broken. Whenever I’m in Brazil—unfortunately I’ve also had injuries in Brazil—I’ve always done my treatment there. For recovery, they always told me, ‘Come, you can use the facilities whenever you want.’ I always follow them with a lot of affection and, of course, I dream of going back one day to play, not to finish my career,” he said in an interview with Romário TV.

“I think about going back every day, my wife can tell you that. You know that moment when you’re like, ‘ah, you know what, I’m going back.’ Seeing Palmeiras where they are now, because I came up in 2014 with Palmeiras fighting not to get relegated. In 2015, I came up with nine forwards. Then I play, we win the Copa do Brasil and then the league title after 22 years. From that point on, it’s history what Palmeiras has been building. I’m very grateful to have been part of the beginning of this new era at Palmeiras,” he added.

Lastly, he commented on the possibility of playing for Corinthians, Palmeiras’ biggest rival. Jesus also spoke about his relationship with Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Magalhães, who also play for Arsenal and support Timão.

“I respect the institution. I have many friends and family members who joke that I have to go to Corinthians, but no. When Palmeiras win, I show up in the shirt, I argue, I write signs and leave them at their place, and vice versa as well,” he concluded.

Visit to his roots

On a break from Arsenal during the FIFA international window, striker Gabriel Jesus returned to his roots and showed up at Palmeiras’ training center last Wednesday to keep up his training routine and work on his fitness.
