"Lu Martin offered fascinating insights into Cancelo's genuine passion for the Blaugrana colours. "It is true that he is very Culer," he said, noting that the player's fandom persisted even when he was playing at the highest level elsewhere. Sharing an anecdote from Cancelo's time at Manchester City, the journalist revealed that upon boarding the team bus, one of the first things Cancelo would ask the staff was, "Do we know how Barça did?""
"Beyond his love for Barcelona, Martin revealed how Cancelo is "very human" in nature, especially after having gone through the trauma of losing his mother at an early age. In January 2013, Cancelo lost his mother, Filomena, in a car accident - a trauma that nearly caused him to retire as he felt like a "robot" who no longer enjoyed the game. However, Cancelo's early life shock only adds to his strength."
Joao Cancelo has been signed and registered by Barcelona after weeks of speculation. He maintained a long-standing fandom for Barcelona throughout his career, including during his time at Manchester City. While at Manchester City, he would routinely ask staff about Barcelona's results on the team bus and followed the club's news closely. He experienced the early loss of his mother, Filomena, in January 2013, which nearly led him to retire as he felt like a "robot" who no longer enjoyed the game. He is motivated to honor his mother's memory and seeks to extend his spell at the club.
