Arsenal teammate Jesus has taken some of the credit for Rice\u2019s attacking improvement.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s the type of player that can do everything,\u201d Jesus said to Rio Ferdinand Presents.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen he arrived at the club, I said \u2018do a favour for me\u2019. Every time you get the opportunity, shoot. Outside the box. This can decide you a game, or the direction of a game. If you shoot from long distances, it can open a game.<\/p>\n \u201cI had this situation with (Vincent) Kompany. It\u2019s not the same quality of shooting but he just tried shooting against Leicester\u2026 1-0, we win the league.<\/p>\n \u201cHis (Rice\u2019s) quality of shooting is amazing, but he\u2019s the type of player that can do everything. This guy can defend, this guy can create, this guy can shoot. He\u2019s an amazing player.\u201d<\/p>\n Read \u2013\u00a0Gabriel Jesus names brilliant 5-a-side team of ex-teammates<\/strong><\/p>\n See more \u2013\u00a0Jesus \u2018very confident\u2019 Arsenal will win Premier League title<\/strong><\/p>\n Facebook<\/a> | Instagram<\/a> | Twitter<\/a> | YouTube<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nFollow the Football Faithful on Social Media:<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n
