Is FC Bayern in trouble with new winter signing João Cancelo? The 28-year-old Portuguese posted a picture on Instagram with the caption: “I’ll do my best and let God do the rest.” Background: The defensive specialist was on the bench for the full 90 minutes of Bayern Munich’s 2-1 win over VfB Stuttgart.
“João has almost never played a back three. He is an attacking player who comes into his own as a right-back. […] João also has some catching up to do in terms of operations. He still needs some time and he will get it, then he will play very well again.”, explained coach Julian Nagelsmann after the game. Consequently, it remains to be seen when Cancelo will become an option for Munich and whether the loan will keep its feet still until then.
