Former Manchester City defender Richard Dunne has shared his full praise for Joao Cancelo following the club's victory over Everton on Sunday.
The Citizens beat the Premier League rivals 3 - 0, with Cancelo's brilliant pass helping Raheem Sterling to score the opening goal for their side.
"I don’t know if he is a full-back – he is the defensive equivalent of a number 10,” Dunne told
Manchester City’s official website after the match.
“City’s left back links the whole team together. He can create from everywhere; his passing is brilliant and his dribbling is ridiculous. His understanding of the game is insane. He’s so fluent in how he moves and kicks the ball – you just don’t know where he is going to pop up! Probably the only other defender that was comfortable anywhere was Phillip Lahm.”
“It’s remarkable. I wouldn’t label him with a position – he’s just a footballer. Technically he’s very, good. Those qualities combined shows that he can operate in any position.”
