He's yet to kick a ball as a Manchester City player but already Pep Guardiola has laid down the rules to Gabriel Jesus.
Jesus signed for City in a £27million deal from Palmeiras in the summer with the move to go through in January after helping the latter to win their win their first league title for 22 years.
The 19-year-old made a brief visit to his new club last week where he spent a free weekend in Manchester acclimatising to his new surroundings.
He enjoyed a meal with his new manager, City director of football Txiki Begiristain and the club's Brazilian midfielders Fernando and Fernandinho at Fazenda, which has been rated as one of Manchester's finest Brazilian 'rodizio' restaurants.
Despite the Spinningfields restaurant being adorned with vintage bottles of wine and spirits, Jesus's preferred drink was a bottle of Coca-Cola.
However, the forward has revealed that his choice of beverage will have to change under Guardiola's reign.
'He told me I cannot drink Coca-Cola,' Jesus admitted of the now-imposed ban to Sport.
During the rest of his flying visit, the Sao Paulo-born starlet was introduced to his new team-mates while taking a tour of City's training ground before watching their 3-1 defeat by Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium in the Premier League.
A switch to England for a 19-year-old from Brazil might be a difficult move, but Jesus revealed that he is taking a number of family members with him to help him settle - although he admits he would have liked to have had more people move too.
