Rivaldo is full of praise for Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola over his management of Gabriel Jesus.

Gabriel proved the matchwinner at Chelsea on Saturday.

Speaking in his role as a Betfair ambassador, Rivaldo said: "Gabriel Jesus was decisive in Man City's victory against Premier League title rivals Chelsea by scoring the winner and I'm pleased to see the Brazilian collecting plaudits for his recent performances.

"Pep Guardiola moved Jesus from a central position to a wing role and so far it's suited the player. Cutting in from the wing and quickly getting into dangerous positions boosts his influence on the team. The role suits his qualities as a very versatile and quick player.

"This can also boost his confidence, since he's no longer the striker with most responsibility for scoring goals and it may allow him to play more freely. That could help him show his best qualities more regularly.

"I'm sure [Brazil manager] Tite is paying attention and wondering if Jesus can add more to his Brazilian team at the World Cup in a wing role.

"It was a nightmare for Gabriel Jesus playing as a striker at the last World Cup and not scoring a goal. He could also become a revitalised player for Brazil in a different position."
