João Cancelo calls Benfica target a clown | OneFootball

João Cancelo spoke about his connection to football and admitted that he admires some of his fellow professionals. Besides admitting that he could return to Benfica, reiterating that he has strong feelings for the club in red, he also highlighted his friend Bernardo Silva, who is also on the Eagles' radar.

"He’s a clown, a troublemaker. (...) I’d like him to go to Barcelona or Benfica", he said in an interview with 'Canal 11'. The Portuguese full-back explained that football was decisive during the difficult stages of his life: "Football gave me the vitamin to keep going. I was one of Benfica’s academy prospects, they already saw me as a player who could make it, and I thought: 'If I don’t become a footballer, what am I going to do? I’ll end up on the streets'.

About the Portuguese league, the wide player remained confident in the Eagles: "Champion? For me it’s always Benfica, even though it is very difficult. I always have hope", he said, speaking about the players he admires: "I really like Trincão’s football, I love Geny Catamo, I like Hjulmand. From Benfica, I like Dedic, he’s a good player, I like Rafa, who is a star. I love António Silva and Tomás Araújo. I like Froholdt, a very good player, and Mora too. Diogo Costa is one of the best goalkeepers in the world for me":
