Hansi Flick has expressed confidence in Gabriel Jesus, insisting that the forward has the potential to become much better in the coming weeks and months.
The Barcelona manager praised Jesus for his current performances but believes the striker still has another level to reach as he continues to develop and adapt to the demands of the team.
I’m happy with him now, but he has more potential,
Flick said.
He will show it in the next weeks and months.
Flick’s comments show his belief in Jesus and the qualities he can bring to the squad. The manager expects the forward to keep improving, contribute more in attack and become an even more influential player as the season progresses.
The young Barcelona winger has attracted attention for his creativity, dribbling and ability to influence matches despite his age. His performances have strengthened his reputation as one of football’s most exciting attacking talents.
Jesus’ backing of Yamal highlights the respect the teenager has earned from fellow professionals. Winning the Ballon d’Or, however, will depend on performances throughout the season, individual achievements and success with club and country.
For Flick, the immediate priority remains helping his players reach their full potential. His comments suggest that he expects more from Jesus while continuing to recognise the qualities that make Yamal a serious contender for football’s biggest individual honour.
With the season still unfolding, both players will have opportunities to strengthen their claims through consistent performances and important contributions on the pitch.
