Joao Pedro Cavaco Cancelo is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Premier League club Manchester City and the Portugal national team. Mainly a right back, he can also play as a right winger.
Regarded as a promising player in the media, Cancelo is mainly known for his speed, energy and offensive capabilities, as well as his technique, dribbling skills, creativity and crossing ability. He is capable of playing as a full-back or winger on either flank, although he usually plays on the right. During his time at Juventus, he was considered one of the best full-backs in Europe. Despite his ability going forward, however, his tactical sense, positioning, and defensive skills have been cited as weaknesses in the media.
He started playing with Benfica, signing with Spanish club Valencia in 2014 at the age of 20, initially on loan. After 91 competitive appearances for the latter, he competed in the Serie A with Inter Milan and Juventus. In 2019, he was signed by English club Manchester City, in a transfer worth an initial €30 million (£27.4 million). All youth levels comprised, Cancelo won 75 caps for Portugal and scored three goals. He made his senior debut in 2016.<\/P>","722D75C33935B48A":"74kg","5588923A723573201F6804A11C3F390A":"2","784E2315886D4158FF9CFFE843FE6B59":"
