The Portuguese winger, with proven performance and quality, has had conflicts with several coaches throughout his career
He has a strong temperament, but even so it seems that he is Xavi’s choice; It is a very complicated operation and the one from Terrassa is confident of ‘taming it’
The name of Joao Cancelo continues to ‘rumble’ in the offices of can Barça. The Portuguese full-back is Xavi’s choice to occupy the starting right-back next season. Of course, there is a lot of cloth to cut to get him on loan with a City that will sell his skin dearly.
The player wants to play for Barça, but It is true that in the sports area the various conflicts he has had with some coaches generate some doubts throughout his trajectory. Basically, with Guardiola, Spalletti and Nagelsmann.
ENCOUNTER WITH PEP
With Pep it goes without saying. Despite his proven quality and enormous performance two seasons ago, the ‘citizen’ club opted for his loan last year due to his disagreements with Santpedor’s manager.
Also at Inter he had a run-in with Spalletti. “I cancel, if he doesn’t do it right, he tends to blame the position he plays: if you put him on the right, he says he had to play left and vice versa. Everyone does, but he complains more than the others “said the Italian coach at the time.
THE WORDS OF NAGELSMANN
For his part, last year he did not quite get along with Nagelsmann in Munich either. “In training he was not at all well because he did not like the situation in which he found himself. There are players who face it better -the fact of not playing- and others, not so much. There was a session in which he did not train as I wanted, but afterwards we talked and he has helped him a lot”, said the German coach.
Cancelo had a rather intermittent participation in Bayern. Xavi loves him and hopes to ‘tame’ him if he ends up arriving. A rather complicated operation, in any case.
