​Balotelli clone? Man City striker Gabriel Jesus admits history with fireworks

Published on: 07 December 2017

Manchester City fans have plenty of experience with strikers who do not display the best behavior off the pitch.

City will be hoping they do not have a repeat of the Mario Balotelli situation with Gabriel Jesus, after the young Brazilian striker revealed how he used to enjoy setting off firecrackers in other people's mailboxes.

He revealed the prank during a recent interview.

"Well, sometimes we used to buy each other new clothes and trainers for Christmas. At around 5pm we would open the presents and wear them all," he said.

"Then we used to go out on the streets and set off some firecrackers in other people's letterboxes. We used to like setting firecrackers off everywhere."

Jesus, who is currently vying with Sergio Aguero for a starting spot in the team, has probably left his firecracker days behind him. But City fans will worry about future misbehavior disrupting his form and focus heading into the business end of the season.
