Manchester City striker, Sergio Aguero, has admitted he may have to get used to sitting on the bench, to allow Gabriel Jesus flourish at the club.
Gabriel Jesus scored three times in three Premier League starts since joining City in January, before he got injured. The foot injury kept him out of action for three and a half months.
Aguero reclaimed his spot in the starting eleven and scored 12 goals in as many games. But Jesus returned to the bench for Thursday’s Manchester Derby and had a goal ruled out for offside when he came on.
“He’s a very good young player which is why he is at City,” Aguero told Sky Sports.
“I know there will be a time when I’ll have to step aside. Other young strikers like Gabriel Jesus will be brought in.
“When you reach a certain age, the youngsters start putting pressure on you and you have to be even better.
“I’m happy that he’s back now and that means I’ll have to be much more focused and alert when I play.
“If I have to start on the bench once again, I’ll have to accept it.
“That’s football. I always respect my coaches and I certainly respect Pep.
“I just want to play and give my all until the end of the season.”
