I\u2019ve never been a bad teammate for them and you can ask either [Nathan] Ake or Rico [Lewis]. I don\u2019t have any superiority or inferiority complex towards them, but that\u2019s the manager\u2019s opinion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI stayed because it\u2019s not true. I think\u00a0Man City\u00a0were a bit ungrateful to me when they said that, because I was a very important player in the years I was there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI never failed in my commitment to the club, to the fans and I always gave everything. I remember a time when I was robbed and attacked and the next day I was playing at the Emirates against Arsenal.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/01hsrmmqz5znd8g2zna3.jpg\" alt=\"Joao Cancelo\" title=\"Joao Cancelo\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Cancelo is currently on loan at Barcelona \/ Alex Caparros\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<p>\u201cThese are things you don\u2019t forget, I left my wife and daughter alone at home, terrified. People will only remember this because Mr Guardiola has much more power than me when he says something and I prefer to keep to myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cancelo made 154 appearances in total for City after signing from Juventus in 2019 but his departure last season meant he missed out on their treble-winning end to the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cCertain things dictated that I was loaned last year to Bayern Munich. I have no regrets, even if City won the\u00a0Champions League. I feel like I made the right choice, that I went to a club that really wanted me, even before renewing my contract. It was a club that gave me a lot in the six months I was there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There have been rumours\u00a0of Barca being hopeful of reducing Man City\u2019s asking price for Cancelo but whether this surprising tirade aids his attempt to seal a permanent transfer remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<p>Barca\u2019s sole hope of silverware in the remainder of 2023\/24 is the Champions League, with Xavi\u2019s side set to clash with Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joao Cancelo has accused Manchester City and their manager Pep Guardiola of telling \u201clies\u201d about his exit from the club.
