Showed a lot of good things going forward, especially in the first half. Wasn't bad defensively either APART from that overeager challenge. Liked what I saw from him, tbh.
Thing is he was always decent offensively that's been well documented since his valencia days, but even after a year in Italy his defensive game hasn't improved, I highly doubt it will even improve by the end of this season. Still for 40 mill euros I had hope for someone a bit more complete

let's not bash anyone based on one game. it's still practically pre-season at juve, so i'm just saying it without judging him that he played like shit defensively, fucking giaccherini eat him alive, but offensively, he's a constant threat, he can create chances or get past opponents with 2 touches. a pretty promising performance overall, too bad for that penalty, he was too naive.
but seriously I wanted Ricardo Pereira for 2 summers now, looking solid for leicester so far 2 assists as well, defensively he is superior to cancelo imo
He was up against king Chakerini, was bound to happen at some point. He should settle a bit, and not bite all the time. It's understandable he's eager to dominate because of his superior physics. Once he balance it out, will be a top fullback and fuck pereira.
I wasn't sure about spending so much on a fullback this summer but I already like this guy a lot. That he is such a departure from the Licht and MDS of last season is refreshing.
Watching him take the ball in our half and, instead of passing it to a CB, just burn some opposing player who is trying to close him down and create space for a run or forward pass is sexy as hell. And he does it regularly like it is easy.
Havent seen the game, you ppl claim that he did will, you must mean offensively, i ve only seen the highlights, but even a few minutes from there,one can see that Cancelo and defending still need a lot of work, to become one...
