Barcelona defender, Joao Cancelo has been slammed for his attitude problem at Manchester City and Valencia. Popular journalist, Lu Martín recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, it has always been clear that Pep Guardiola cannot stand players with poor attitude and behaviour, so even if Cancelo has a lot of quality with the ball, he had to go.
Martin added that everything is still going fine at Barcelona because Joao is still playing currently, but the moment he is dropped, his character will come out.
His words, “We have explained it several times. It’s a problem of attitude and behaviour. If there’s one thing Pep can’t stand it’s bad behaviour and being overweight. Cancelo’s behaviour was not the right one, although as a footballer he has tremendous quality. The same thing happened to him at Valencia. He didn’t leave because he didn’t play badly, he left because even God couldn’t stand him.
At Barca as long as he plays, there is no problem, but the day he stops playing his character will come out. As long as he doesn’t have competition that won’t happen, but at City it was different, there was a lot of quality there.”
WOW.
Futbol Club Barcelona, commonly referred to as Barcelona and colloquially known as Barça, is a professional football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, that competes in La Liga, the top flight of Spanish football.
Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, Catalan, German, and English footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto “Més que un club” (“More than a club”). Unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona.
There is often a fierce rivalry between the two strongest teams in a national league, and this is particularly the case in La Liga, where the game between Barcelona and Real Madrid is known as “The Classic” (El Clásico).
From the start of national competitions the clubs were seen as representatives of two rival regions in Spain: Catalonia and Castile, as well as of the two cities. The rivalry reflects what many regard as the political and cultural tensions felt between Catalans and the Castilians, seen by one author as a re-enactment of the Spanish Civil War. Over the years, the head-to-head record between the two clubs is 102 victories for Madrid, 100 victories for Barcelona, and 52 draws.
