#27 | João Cancelo - 2020/21 Performances

[Dr Jacoby]

More influential on the right/centre but his defending this evening was top notch.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone outmuscle Traore before.

He’s gone from looking like a Mangala-level flop to a key player in our side.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

He is a very good defender as well as a brilliant offensive player , in about the 85th minute Traore tried to bully him and Cancelo made him look a right mug with a nutmeg and a calm out ball , best full back in the league.

 

[Nicholas van Whatsisface]

Such an entertaining player to watch - he’s genuinely two footed, and is so calm on the ball under pressure he’s one of our most press-resistant players.

He brings a bit of flair to our play, and I pity any opposition right back looking at our team sheet and the prospect of trying to contain de Bruyne and Cancelo down their side.

 

[rodders]

Defence, attack, midfield and wherever the fuck else he is on the pitch...

He's one Badass footballer !!

I was very impressed with his desire and ability to hold off that juice head.He isn't a soft touch by any means,and the claims he couldnt defend now look utterly ridiculous.

 

[Airbags Optional]

What a player. Strong, quick, technical, great vision, he has everything.

 

[BlueDejong]

wow

 

[lightning Rodri]

wow

Cancelo I've watched earlier would have just fallen down at that first push from Traore and appealed for foul. It could be that I watched too little of him before or something has definitely changed for him mentality wise, it's not just the first season syndrome.

You are right.
His first season he was falling down easily appealing any time he was touched but now is doing none of that.

Yep, City's first choice right-back by a mile.
