It has begun the period of the Joao in the FC Barcelona and with the party in front of the Real Betis have had the first proof of what can do both and, especially, the importance that can have in the plans of Xavi Hernández. They left an authentic recital and, although the 'MVP' has carried it to him the player of the Athletic of Madrid, the luso of 29 years has done sufficient merit for also be recognised like one of the figures of the 'manita' in the estadi Olímpic Lluís Compannys.
I cancel it has added his first titularity with the Barça in an important night. Had the mission to dominate the right band and has fulfilled, with grow, the task. It split like a very hit defender to the line, but when his team had the balloon confined by the centre of the field and finished being an interior more, practically to the same level that the mediocampistas. This caused that had a lot of more presence to offensive level and that, therefore, could combine more with the attackers.
Joao Cancel presents in Montjuïc
It was key in the recoveries and in the high pressure of the blaugrana. In fact, the goal of Joao Félix with which opened the marker nation of a his high pressure that finish with a theft. I cancel it yielded to Oriol Romeu, the one who put the balloon in the small area in front of the arrival of the attacker luso that, like the smartest of the class, finished taking advantage of of his own semifallo and of the 'slowness' of Rui Silva to open the marker to the 25 minutes of the party.
The player of the Manchester City also had opportunity to première like goleador, to fault of ten minutes for the pitazo final, after a work of art in which it was leading. Doing use of his profile of 'false' midfield player to the hour to attack, took advantage of of a cut to Juan Miranda to command a finish crusader that coló in the goal verdiblanca and that confirmed a 'manita' dreamed for all the barcelonismo.
I cancel, the new owner of the right-handed band?
Without place to doubts, has been the best letter of presentation for Cancel in front of the public in Montjuïc. It saw him very loose, dared and with a lot of confidence when had opportunity to advance metres. Has paint that it will be indisputable in the plans of Xavi Hernández and adueñará of a right side in which, up to now, there was not a natural player to defend it. The Portuguese comes to change the history.
