That's a nice post mate when posters have vented their spleen against cancelo.I think Pep was right when he said Cancelo's quality was undeniable however I do believe Cancelo has mental \ emotional health issues which he needs professional help to resolve.
I understand he was a teenager in the car accident when his mother was killed ,a traumatic enough event in itself.My uncle was a teenager in the front passenger seat when his Dad was killed in a car accident in the 1950s and he never got over it.
In 2021 Cancelo was on the receiving end of an aggravated burglary having to physically defend himself and his partner and infant child. This must have been another traumatic experience.
I appreciate that for a number of Blue Mooners it's easier to criticise than to praise players (sadly a herd mentality lapping up unproven media comments) but I prefer to remember Cancelo's many quality moments ( that pass to Haaland v Borussia Dortmund - goal of the tournament !) .
Thanks Joao, good luck for the future for you and your family.
