Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus commented on the readiness of "citizens" for the new season.
"City can be considered a favorite, because we are the current champions," - quotes Jesus Goal. com.
"But we need to focus on the season. Other teams have intensified, it will be difficult for everyone.
It is logical for us that all our rivals know that they are playing with the current champion, they want to win at any cost and they will have a great motivation to beat us ".
"We need to do the same thing as last season, remember all the good things that we did then. We need to learn from the fact that we did not manage to make this season better than the previous one ".
In the first round of the English Premier League, Manchester City will play against Arsenal.
