Role in the Team and Style of Play

The coach Ezequiel Medrán asked him to play «across the entire attack front». Cano feels comfortable playing «both as a number nine or as a second striker». He hopes to get «many minutes to show what one comes to do at the club».

He described himself as «a forward who tries to always be near the goal, also going out to play a bit with my teammates». His priority is «to try to score, which is the most important thing for me and for the team».

The Competition and Main Objective

Regarding the internal competition, he indicated that «the one who is in the best shape, I think, will play». He considers it a «healthy competition» and each one will give «their best in training so that he can decide later».

He doesn't consider himself a candidate for promotion, but rather a «great team» with «good players with a lot of experience». The objective is clear: «to give everything game by game» to «achieve the goal we all want».

Adaptation and Differences with Venezuelan Football

Cano is adapting «gradually» physically, as he hasn't been doing an intense preseason for a while.

He didn't find similarities with Venezuelan football: «I think in the National League, there's much more physical contact. There's much more friction. It's much more intense. The game relies a lot on the second ball». He brings his experience from having previously played in the category with clubs like San Martín de Tucumán, Güemes, and Chacarita.
