THE TRUTH WITH PEP GUARDIOLA: Joao Cancelo explained why he decided to leave Manchester City to go to Bayern Munich
whatjoao cancel ceded with purchase option to Bayern Munich? Yes. She Passed. In a move that shocked the entire football world, the Portuguese winger joined Germany’s biggest club.
In English territory there are reports that maintain that the Benfica youth player had a serious confrontation with Pep Guardiola (after his substitution in a duel against Arsenal) and this led to his departure. However, the 28-year-old player assured that his departure had nothing to do with his relationship with the Catalan coach.
He made the decision to leave City because he had lost prominence in recent weeks and, furthermore, he received the arrival of one of the largest entities on the planet.
THE REASON WHY CANCELO LEFT MANCHESTER CITY
“That’s exactly why I decided to go out, for the few minutes I’ve had in recent weeks. It has nothing to do with my relationship with the coach, with Pep (Gardiola). It’s just because I wanted more minutes. I had a great club behind me, like Bayern Munich, and I decided to start a new adventure. I am very happy here. It’s a great club, with a lot of history, and I’m very happy to be able to represent it.”
He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity that presented itself: “It’s a very good feeling. Take the chance. I knew this great club and wanted to take this opportunity and train with the other players as soon as possible. I really want to work”.
Undefeated Data. Joao Cancelo has been league champion in Portugal, Italy and England (with Pep Guardiola he lifted a couple of Premier League trophies). He will now try to achieve it in Germany.
Did you know..? Joao Cancelo nominally plays as a right back, but he can also perform -and very well- on the left side. With Pep Guardiola he grew a lot. He is one of the wingers with the greatest criteria and the best association game in the world.
