Joao Cancelo is never too far away from controversy and question marks about his behaviour.
Manchester City probably know all of that well by now and there is now more fuel added to the fire, and the idea Cancelo’s attitude might have been a reason for his fall from grace under Pep Guardiola.
Sport report today that the full-back’s behaviour and some previous performances are causing ‘doubts’ at Barcelona.
The Catalan side have major concerns about his performances during key moments and they were particularly not impressed with him during Barcelona’s loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.
On top of that, it is mentioned that Cancelo’s behaviour in the dressing room hasn’t go down well with a lot of players.
When he hasn’t started games, his attitude has irked major players in the dressing room, causing ‘discomfort’. His relationship with younger players is also questioned, perhaps with the insinuation he’s too harsh on them.
It’s mentioned Guardiola witnessed similar patterns at Manchester City and that is why he was moved on by the club.
He’s now back and endless reports have said he only wants a return to Barcelona. Interestingly, Sport say that despite this, Cancelo has no intention of lowering his wages.
