Man City teammates hail impact of Cancelo in unique role

Manchester City teammates have hailed the impact of Joao Cancelo at fullback.

His ability has been labelled “a special talent" by manager Pep Guardiola, while his team-mates are only too aware of his contribution and ability.

“He is so good technically," said Jack Grealish recently.

"You know when we're playing one touch, two touch, he's just a joke and then he can shoot right foot, left foot from anywhere."

Phil Foden agreed.

"Joao is one of the best if not the best attacking full backs in world football right now, he is always adding goals and assists," he said.

"If one of the attackers is having an off day we need someone coming up with the goals and assists and he is always there in the big moments in the big games.

"We know he has got that quality in front of goal and he is sensational."
