Childhood And Family Background Of Gabriel Jesus

In his Biography, Gabriel Fernando de Jesus was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil on the third day of April 1997 to Vera Lúcia Jesus (Mother) and Diniz de Jesus (Father). He was the last child in a family of four (3 boys and a girl).

Indeed, being the last kid and baby in the house has its perks. For Gabriel, it was something else. Even though his mom instilled discipline in him, he hustled on the streets.

He’s from Jardim Peri, a neighborhood in the north of Sao Paulo. Gabriel Jesus was raised by the streets like a lot of footballers (like Marcus Rashford).

It’s his calling to play street football. When Gabriel was 5, he used to play Brazilian Samba across the streets instead of attacking. He was a speed demon in his childhood, just like Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. After the 2002 World Cup, he switched to full-fledged attacking.

He turned a corner after discovering and adapting to Ronaldo Luis Nazario de Lima, his World Cup idol. His turning point also came when he got more serious about football. As shown below, it’s joining a football academy.

The Rise Of Gabriel Jesus

A number of youth teams (including one called Little Kids of the Environment) have been a part of his career.

His 29 goals for amateur club Anhanguera Associacao Paulista in a local under-15 tournament caught the attention of some of the region’s bigger sides. Here is his club ID card. As his progress increased, he was offered the opportunity to play for the youth team of Palmeiras football club.

Even at the age of 15, Gabriel had an agent who arranged a trial with Palmeiras, one of Brazil’s oldest teams. A year later, the fans were already clamoring for him to step up to the senior squad. At such a young age, he was so good.

As of that time, Palmeiras was on the verge of being relegated from Brazil’s top flight. As a result of Jesus’ leadership, the club won the league title on its own. Gabriel shined like never before on the emotional final day of the season. Despite being only 18 years old, he was watched by scouts around the globe due to his performance. It didn’t matter what was going on around him, Gabriel never lost focus.

Despite this, he kept scoring goals and never looked back. The next Brazilian to get a big-money move to Europe, he quickly established himself as one of Palmeiras’ most important players. Thanks to Manchester City, this finally happened. As they say, the rest is history.

Family Life Of Gabriel Jesus

The following section of the Biography of Jesus tells you about the members of Jesus’ household. Let’s get started without further ado.

Getting To Know Gabriel Jesus’ Father

Gabriel Jesus’ father, Diniz, abandoned him when he was very young. According to reports, he fled with his lover, abandoning little Gabriel, his brothers, sisters, and mother. Alexis Sanchez was also in the same condition during his childhood.

The Mother Of Gabriel Jesus

Just like Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Jesus’ mother, Vera Lucia, plays an important role in his life. Every time she plays, she calls him.

The first time Gabriel Jesus arrived in England, he was accompanied by his mother and older brother, along with two friends, but he said he would have brought his entire neighborhood if only his mother had allowed it. There is a great deal of respect between them, and they are very close.

She is also a disciplinarian who often pulls Gabriel Jesus’ ears when he misses important opportunities. Jesus doesn’t have a problem with respect or discipline. The reason for this is that he has been properly trained. As a domestic maid in Sao Paulo’s impoverished Jardim Peri district, Vera Lucia raised her four siblings on her own.

Gabriel Jesus Girlfriend Or Wife (to be)

Gabriel Jesus and his girlfriend or future wife Raiane Lima welcomed their first child a daughter named Helena in May 2022.

In the early stages of his Manchester City career, Jesus is famous for his goal celebration. It was rumored that the celebration mocked his ex-girlfriend, who was said not to have called prior to his signing with Manchester City.

Jesus, according to sources, says that when he scores a goal for Manchester City, his mother calls him right away.

Every time she calls, I run to the corner flag and touch my ear, saying, ‘Alo Mae!’, no matter where she is in Brazil or what I am doing in the stadium.”

Prior to the 2016 Rio Olympics, Neymar and Jesus had matching tattoos that went viral.

Facts About Gabriel Jesus

Here we are presenting some untold facts about the player.

The Love Of Gabriel Jesus For Jesus Christ

Danny Drinkwater, his name is quite well known in this field. According to reports, Gabriel Jesus has worn the number 33 shirt for Man City in tribute to the age at which Jesus was believed to have been crucified.

He has pledged to wear the Number 33 shirt and views it as better than any other shirt number. In the cutest and most passionate way, Gabriel and Neymar JR have demonstrated their love for Jesus Christ. As members of the Brazilian Team in Rio de Janeiro in 2016, they were both Olympic champions. As well as making them best friends, their faith has brought them closer together.

The Journey To The City Of Gabriel Jesus

The 19-year-old Gabriel Jesus received a phone call from one of the game’s greatest coaches, which isn’t something that happens every day. An unknown number flashed up on the Brazilian starlet’s screen as he was minding his own business during a transfer scramble between Manchester City and Barcelona.

Pep Guardiola was on the other end of the line, telling the teenager his career would be best served at Etihad. City shot to the top of the former Palmeiras striker’s wish list after being swayed by starstruck.

Despite Neymar’s charm offensive for Barcelona, Gabriel joined City for £28 million. Several months later, he is playing for Brazil’s senior team. It’s all history from there, they say.

The Style Of Play And Strength Of Gabriel Jesus

As a versatile forward, Gabriel Jesus can play anywhere on the frontline. His movement and footwork have helped him create space for teammates and bring others into play more often through the middle.

Besides being a superb athlete, Gabriel is also growing stronger all the time, outpacing most defenders as he goes. When he stretches his legs, he glides into space effortlessly because he is explosive without being sticky.

His positional awareness and ability to drift into space make him difficult for defenders to track. Like Sergio Aguero, he is ruthless when it comes to finishing.

Weakness Of Gabriel Jesus

In the eyes of many coaches, especially Pep, Gabriel’s maturity is the main concern. There are times when he can seem overly invested in matters on the field, sometimes close to tears when things don’t go his way (which doesn’t happen very often). The act was performed at the club where he used to play.

Gabriel has yet to develop the thick skin necessary to play in an unfamiliar league in a foreign country.

Despite his rawness, he is maturing at an incredible rate, taking on more responsibility every week. There’s no reason to worry about him because Guardiola and other Brazilian friends at the League will help him settle in.

The Idol Of Gabriel Jesus

Ronaldo Luis Nazario de Lima is his idol. In spite of the fact that he wasn’t born when the Legend witnessed his prime. As a kid, Gabriel enjoyed watching and celebrating the 2002 FIFA World Cup with Ronaldo Luis Nazario de Lima.

Following in his footsteps was never far from his mind from that day forward. In light of the Brazilian Legend, he changed his wing from central midfield to an attacking position.

When Brazil’s Ronaldo said he saw many similarities between Jesus and the then Palmeiras striker, Jesus became the next big thing. During a TV interview, Ronaldo said:

In the opinion of Ronaldo Luis Nazario de Lima,

Gabriel reminds me of myself in the past when I look at him. There is a lot of similarity between him and me, he is so young but has already achieved so much and has so much responsibility. There’s no doubt that he has a bright future ahead of him, and he’s already enchanting us with what he’s doing.
