The Portugal international fires: Manchester City is ungrateful, Pep Guardiola is full of lies!
Due to the conflict with Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, Portugal international Joao Cancelo has been on loan for the last two seasons and has lived a life of wandering. Not long ago, Cancelo, who couldn't bear it, opened fire directly in an interview with the media, shelling Manchester City and the team's coach Pep Guardiola, and the two sides were completely broken!
Cancelo is currently training with the Portuguese national team, during which he gave an exclusive interview to the Portuguese media "Ball", in which he vented his bitterness and bombarded his old club Manchester City and manager Pep Guardiola. He said: "I didn't have any conflicts with any of my teammates, Guardiola's criticism of me was a lie, I didn't have any superiority in the team, I was saddened by Guardiola's statements because they were not true, and the club's final approach was a bit ungrateful!"
Cancelo added: 'I've been an important player for City in recent years, I give it my all in every game, even if my home is looted, I still show up the next day. But people will only remember Guardiola's words, because his words are more influential than mine, so I can only remain silent, I know that I am telling the truth and I just have to do the right thing. ”
Cancelo appears to have regained his form after joining Barcelona on loan this season, scoring a career-high four goals in 32 appearances for the club. Cancelo said: "I've had a very positive season, although we are not in the top of the league table, we still have a chance of winning the title, and we have reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League, which is the first time in almost four years that Barcelona have reached the quarter-finals. For me, the experience of this season was special because I am a Barcelona fan and I love their club culture!"
Although Cancelo has his heart set on Barca, he will have to return to Manchester City at the end of this season, as his contract with the Blues does not expire until 2027. If Cancelo wants to stay in Spain for the long term, Barcelona will have to pay a sizable transfer fee to redeem him, a condition that may be difficult to meet given the current financial situation of the La Liga giants, so Cancelo may have to continue to wander this summer in search of a new club that suits him.
Cancelo's public statement can be regarded as blocking his way to continue playing for Manchester City in the future, I wonder which team he will continue his career in after this summer?
