Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus has spoken about how scoring against the LA Galaxy in a pre-season friendly has helped to boost his confidence ahead of the new season. The Brazilian international struck twice in our 3-0 win at Dignity Health Sports Park, and he believes that the goals will help him feel more settled and comfortable on the pitch. ‘I’m feeling confident,’ Jesus said in an interview with Arsenal.com. ‘I scored two goals and I helped my team to win, so it’s a great feeling. I’m feeling more relaxed now, because when you score goals, you start to feel better about yourself.’ Jesus also praised the efforts of his teammates, saying that he was impressed by their work rate and commitment during the friendly. ‘We had some good moments on the pitch,’ he said. ‘The boys are working hard every day, so it’s nice to see them rewarded with a win. I’m feeling confident, and I think we can take this form into the new season.’ Jesus’s goals against the LA Galaxy took his tally for the summer to four, and he will be looking to build on that momentum as Arsenal prepare to start their Premier League campaign.
