Reportedly, Joao Cancelo slammed Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola and went on a furious tirade against the club.
This season, the Portuguese player will spend his time on loan at Barcelona after spending the second part of the previous campaign with Bayern Munich.
According to certain news reports, Guardiola was not pleased with Cancelo’s reaction when he was benched during City’s championship season.
The 29-year-old, though, disagreed with Guardiola in an interview with the Portuguese publication A Bola.
A liar was involved, he exclaimed. If you want to know if I’ve ever been a poor teammate to Nathan Ake or Rico Lewis, you can ask them. I disagree with the boss’s assessment of my abilities, but he holds that view.
I remained since it is not true. They claimed that, but I take it as an act of rudeness given how important I was to them throughout my time there.
I kept every word I gave to the team and the fans. Every time, I did my best. Someone assaulted me after breaking into my residence. I had an Arsenal game at the Emirates the next day.
“Remember this: I fled the house, leaving my wife and daughter all alone and terrified.” Because Mr. Guardiola is more commanding than I am, and because I prefer to remain silent, that is all that will be remembered.
Cancelo expressed his “wishes” for Man City’s success. He went on to say that, despite missing out on the Treble, he was right to go on loan in January 2023.
“Somethings led to my loan to Bayern Munich last year,” he explained. I wouldn’t feel guilty about it even if City won the Champions League. Even before I inked a new contract, I felt I had made the right decision by joining a club that genuinely wanted me. While I was a member of that club for six months, I learned a lot.
He is making less money at Barcelona, the club he was on loan to after Bayern Munich, due to their financial troubles.
Guardiola expressed his best wishes to Cancelo after he let him go on loan last season. Two Premier League victories would not have been possible without him.
Our style of play has changed since the World Cup, and I’ve started to give other players more playing time.
Everyone is unique in the way they dress. Since he is so dedicated to his profession and finds joy in playing, we all thought that Munich would be the perfect place for him to attend.
Cancelo will return to Man City, despite the fact that he appears to be leaving this summer.
The club’s financial woes may make it difficult for Barcelona to retain Cancelo for next season, according to president Joan Laporta.
