Portuguese defender Joao Cancelo looked back on his experience at Manchester City, which ended badly.
Joao Cancelo wears the colors of FC Barcelona today. He joined this club after losing his place at Manchester City. With the Sky Blues, he was an executive for a long time but ended up finding himself on the bench. And that’s what led him to change his tune.
Cancelo thanks Guardiola
The Portuguese international is not bitter, however. He only has good memories of his time in the North West of England. This is what he said in an interview with Mundo Deportivo. “ I have to thank everyone at City, I had the best moments of my career there. And it’s thanks to my teammates, to Pep Guardiola, to the technical staff, a very good and very united group. “
While renting his old house, Cancelo is pleased to have joined the Catalan giant: “For me, it’s the best team in the world. It was a risk to come to Barcelona, but when the opportunity to play for Barça presents itself, you have to take it.”
“Barcelona is the club I always wanted to be at, it’s the club of my dreams after playing for my childhood team, Benfica, he added. I’m very happy to be here, I really enjoyed these three matches, I have teammates who help me adapt as quickly as possible, which is important. I play with great footballers, which makes things a lot easier for me.”
Transferred to Barcelona at the very end of the transfer window, Cancelo has already played three matches with Xavi’s team. And he was decisive by scoring a goal.
