Former Manchester City defender Joao Cancelo recalled his conversation with coach Josep Guardiola before leaving for Bayern Munich in January.
“Like I said before, he found a new game pattern after the World Cup where the full-backs have to play more in the middle of the field. Pep liked how Rico Lewis and Ake acted in this role. I think that every player is a little selfish. Everyone wants to feel important, they want to play, and those who say otherwise are lying.
A competitive player like me who wants to win titles just wants to play. It’s not a matter of devaluing my teammates. However, I thought I deserved to play, and Pep didn’t think so. So we talked and decided that it would be best for me to leave the club in this transfer window. It was by mutual agreement. If City didn’t want to, they wouldn’t let me go because I had a contract. I have a difficult character, yes, but I have never shown disrespect to teammates or coaches, ”OJogo quotes Cansela.
