Joao Cancelo

“I have a difficult personality, yes, but I have never, at any time, disrespected teammates or coaches.”

“At the end of the day, it will be the manager's decision where I play. Wherever he puts me on the pitch I will give my best.”

“Sometimes it is said that I may not have a very simple personality. But my heart is in the right place. And you can always count on me.”

“A big part of my love for football is due to my mother. I had great moments with her.”

“I've conquered everything with sacrifice.”

“I try to improve myself every year.”

“I lived with my maternal grandparents, so I rarely saw my mother during the day; at one time she had three different jobs and I would only see her at dinner time.”

“I'm very impulsive and sentimental and quite possibly easy to read because I always express what I feel.”

“Pep was a very important person in my evolution. He is a manager who changed not only my capacities but also my way of seeing football.”

“I feel comfortable playing inside but also out wide.”

“Manchester City was the most important step I took in my career.”

“Phil Foden is the proof that Manchester City academy works.”

“I cannot go long periods without playing football - I love playing football.”

“I dream of being the best player in my position and City is a good place to do that.”

“I'm very professional, I've always given my face for all the clubs.”

“Everybody at Juventus looks at Cristiano Ronaldo as a great example. Everybody wants to be like him, even the more experienced players like Chiellini.”

“Our obligation is to fight and compete in all of the competitions that we are in, we will all aim to do our best.”

“For me, I grew up watching the best soccer team play, which is Barcelona in 2009, and many of my idols played here.”

“Teams like FC Bayern, Manchester City and Real Madrid are always tough to beat and are favourites to win the Champions League every season.”

“If you lose one game, you can win the next three or four and you get a winning streak. In the Champions League, you win or you are out. Mentally, it's difficult to handle. The Champions League is another adrenaline.”
