João Cancelo has hit back against suggestions that he was a bad teammate at Manchester City, in a new interview with a Portuguese newspaper.
“How did you react to Pep Guardiola’s public criticism, which stated that João was not happy that his teammates, namely Rico Lewis and Nathan Aké, were playing?” He was asked.
“Lies were told! I’ve never been a bad companion for them and you can ask either Aké or Rico. I don’t have any superiority or inferiority complex towards them, but that’s the manager’s opinion,” Cancelo replied.
These declarations come as Cancelo is still technically a City player, albeit on loan at FC Barcelona.
