Football: Manchester City player Joao Cancelo victim of violent burglary

This Thursday evening, the Portuguese Manchester City international, Joao Cancelo, was attacked and slightly injured at his home during a violent burglary. “Unfortunately, I was attacked by four cowards who hurt me and tried to hurt my family”, testified the player on his social networks. The defender has in particular a notch of 3 centimeters on the level of the right eyelid. “They managed to take all of my jewelry and left me with my face like this”, lamented the Lusitanian international. “I do not understand that we can be so mean”, he laments.

The day after the Skyblues’ narrow victory against Brentford (0-1), criminals broke into the house of the 27-year-old side, located in the suburbs of Mancun. Under the eyes of his companion Daniela and their little daughter, the kidnappers took possession of various valuables. The player was injured while trying to resist. “My family is the most important thing for me and luckily they are all doing well”, he reassured on Instagram. “After so many obstacles in my life, it is one more test that I will go through”, he added, in reference to the fatal car accident suffered by his mother, when he was a passenger, ten years earlier.
