<\/div>John Stones and Gabriel Jesus applauded the subtle tactical tweak made by Pep Guardiola against Bournemouth shortly before the wonderful goal by the Brazilian, who labelled his boss a “genius”.<\/p>\n
City claimed an unconvincing 2-1 win over the Cherries at Etihad Stadium on Wednesday, with David Silva scoring a free-kick before Jesus netted with a lovely solo effort.<\/p>\n
Bournemouth piled pressure on in the final stages and did pull one back through David Brooks, but Jesus’ goal proved decisive.<\/p>\n
The Brazil international’s goal came shortly after Guardiola made a slight change, moving Jesus further towards the left, and shifting Phil Foden the other way.<\/p>\n
It led to Jesus finding space in the inside-left channel, which Silva spotted, and the striker evaded two defenders before slotting home.<\/p>\n
This tweak was not lost on Jesus, nor Stones.<\/p>\n
“It is no coincidence, we switch and I score,” Jesus said. “He [Pep] is a genius. He changes it in a second and we score.<\/p>\n
“We can play better. I am happy to help my team and I am happy to get this victory. I try to play football, enjoy the game, be happy in the game on the pitch. That is what we have to do, go on the pitch, give everything there.<\/p>\n
“I try to always go for goal, score, make passes, defend with my friends.”<\/p>\n
Stones added: “He [Pep] knows the quality of the players so well and those little adjustments count.<\/p>\n
“I think how Gabby took his goal is incredible; the feet in the box, it is a defender’s nightmare really. When you get in the box nowadays with VAR and things like this, everything is watched and you have got to be so careful.<\/p>\n
“I think Gabby, and the other strikers that get chances in the box, it is a pleasure to watch and I am sure he will be pleased with that.<\/p>\n
“As I said, the manager knows his players so well and those little tweaks, every player knows what they can bring to the team.<\/p>\n
“I didn’t realise until the end what impact the players can have in different positions and that is credit to them; credit to Phil, credit to Gabby, I am just really pleased to get another three points.”<\/p>\n
