He acts like he's playing in a farmers league. He was used to tougher competition in PL.
I have no idea if this guy is a RB, but wow! He's going to be a star on this squad, a superb offensive talent, Alves-level. I wonder if he might eventually take Pedri's starting spot. Can't wait to see how he will do against a team that puts a lot of offensive pressure on Barca's right side. Good thing that there will always be a real defensive right fullback playing right CB, Kounde or Araujo.

His celebration for Felix goal was good to see how much means to him to be at Barca as well as the quality he clearly has.
Care to explain?

Pedri will play when fit 100%.
Cancelo will play RB v poorer teams then may even play RW at times v the better ones would be my guess.

If people were paying attention they'd notice De Jong was dropping into defense as a back 3 while both Balde and Cancelo were high on the wings, Cancelo even drifting more centrally at times. Oriol stayed in the center of the park.
Having really versatile players will allow for a lot of options. We looked better doing this as we created pressure high up the pitch and De Jong was world class even performing that role while dropped back. They were afraid of our fullbacks, and we haven't been able to say that in years.

He is so good offensively, I guess he is pretty damn shit defensively. Or what's the reason he is not playing for City or Bayern anymore?
More behaviour issue than performance with him. Was always top tier RB

He argued with Pep and that's a death sentence for every player and Bayern didn't want to pay €50m last year for him. Good for us.

Was always a baller and TOP offensive contributor
Questionmarks exist about
a) his level (especially in Defence) against elite sides. Look at the goals City conceded the last 2 years in such games, he was the weak link
b) His off-the pitch mentality issues that have been discussed many times and costed him his presence under pep.
I reckon b will be less of a problem here given there is no competition for his spot and he will be great to have for 95% of games Barca will play.
But a might be a problem
