#27 | João Cancelo - 2021/22 Performances

[WestGorton]

Love his passion as much as his skill

 

[TravisBickle]

Best non goal I’ve ever seen lol

 

[diamond geezer]

Nice glasses.

 

[MCFC1993]

Just prefer him on the left. It might be because we have a threat down both sides with him and Walker.

He does look better cutting in though.

 

[MCFCFanTX]

Thought he scored a worldie.

 

[nickamon]

Welcome back. When you are on your game, you are so smooth. That pass was lovely, perfect pace and direction!

 

[PALESTINIAN HEARTED MANC]

Came to say, those who play football know this pass is NOT easy, brilliant skilful player.

 

[alexmcity]

Thought Cancelo was our most creative player in the first half and did very well in defence too. Cracking total footballer.

 

[TravisBickle]

Some of his passes are just pure filth!
Footballs version of a Harlem Globe Trotter.

Most wouldn’t even attempt that pass. He was top drawer again today. He’s been excellent at LB.

 

[Bobby the blue]

He had a very good period last year but seemed to fall away a bit towards the end of the season. However has been consistently one of the top performers this season. Such a threat and one that no other break has available to them.!superb again today.

 

[mccity]

Played a good handful of really top tier passes down the wing today, including for the goal.

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

Top quality today

Pep is always quite revolutionary in terms of certain ideas.

I don't know if managers will pick up on the opposite footed fullback in the future, but Pep and Cancelo are absolutely revolutionizing the idea.

Off the top of my head, I can't think of any team who doesn't play with classical fullbacks.

I can't think of any FB who can be world class on both sides of the pitch, i.e. both at LB and RB. Cancelo is unique.

 

[deano ou812]

Top player,love it when cancelo plays some of his passing is as good as de bruyne’s ..

 

[ninjamonkey]

Weirdly now a better left back than right back. Top class today. we're so unfortunate he and Sane didn't overlap, pair him with a left footer with electric pace on that left side and we would have a killer combination. Grealish doesn't have the movement and sterling can't use his left to benefit from Cancelo's brilliance.

 

[MCFCFanTX]

I don't think it's hyperbolic to say that right now no other FB can do what he does for us. Absolutely brilliant.

 

[rowarta]

seems to recall Cancelo first match playing as a left back was against spurs at home a couple of seasons ago (may have been after another Mendy injury) and he had a really poor performance......since then he's turned into one of the best full backs in the world.

amazing transformation in just over 2.5 years

 

[RandomJ]

I thought he did really well defensively today on top of his usual brilliance on the ball.
