Due to poor relations with Pep Guardiola, Joao Cancelo was fired from Manchester City. Now, on loan to Barcelona, the Portuguese has returned without any irony to his image in England.
” People look at the statistics and I think I had a better time at Manchester City, but the numbers weren't good. I don't watch it, I appreciate it game by game, but yes, I'm having a very positive season, even if collectively we weren't in the position we wanted to be in the Championship – no, I didn't. I don't think so, I really don't, but I'm living my life now. Some things meant he was loaned to Bayern Munich last year. I don't regret it even if City won the Champions League. I feel I made the right decision, to go to a club that really wanted me, even before I renewed my contract. It's a club that brought me a lot in the six months I was there. I've dealt with great players and the club is amazing. Then I came here, I took a pay cut and that doesn't bother me at all. This was the third time I've come to Barcelona and I'm finally here.
Lies have been told! I have never been a bad companion to them and you can ask Aki or Rico. I have no superiority or inferiority complex towards them, but that is the manager's opinion… – I stayed because it is not true. I think Manchester City were a bit ungrateful to me when they said that, because I was a very important player in the years I was there. I have never failed in my commitment to the club and to the fans, I have always given everything. I remember the time I was robbed and attacked and the next day I was playing at the Emirates against Arsenal. These are things you don't forget, leaving my wife and daughter alone at home, terrified. People will only remember that because Mr Guardiola has more power than me when he says something and I prefer to be alone.
I prefer to know that I am telling the truth, and I feel good about what I have done. I am a transparent person, I never lie. Life goes on and I hope things go well, because while I was there I enjoyed the football and the team. They remain the favourites to win the Champions League “Cancelo told daily A Bola.
