João Cancelo is going through a difficult time. The winger has been one of the focuses of criticism after the unnecessary penalty he committed against Dembélé and which meant PSG’s third goal, which put the French ahead in the tie. Many of these reviews They have exceeded the allowable limit and have become serious threats, even wishing the death of their family. Cancelo has chosen to denounce it publicly to try to eradicate these behaviors, protected by the cowardice that anonymity grants.
The Portuguese took advantage of an interview on ESPN to reveal what had happened to him. «People say everything. There are comments on Instagram wishing death on my unborn daughter. They wouldn’t say it to my face, because we would have a problem, but in the comments they write what they want,” denounced the player, who added: “They are offensive to my partner, my daughter, our unborn baby. It’s a cruel world and you have to know how to live with it. “I know how to do it, but I don’t know what to say anymore.”
Cancelo wants the magnitude of these threats to be understood because “Wishing death on a baby is a very serious thing”. The footballer takes the opportunity to try to raise awareness among all the people who are fans of football and elite sports: «People don’t think about the person behind the footballer they see on television. We are humans too. We are equal”.
Cancelo was also questioned about the words of the former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinandwho said it was “silly, naive and as a young inexperienced player in panic station mode. The Barça player was respectful of the former footballer but did not like his criticism: “Ferdinand was a great player, but I am sure that he also made mistakes,” he began by explaining. «We all do it. But, of course, it is his job, he is an analyst and he has the right to say what he thinks. I accept it, it is his opinion. Maybe the way I committed the penalty was a childish mistakebut the way the game was, my head at the moment, well, I accept the criticism.
