Thanks to the intervention of Joao Cancelo, the little fan Ollie was able to return safe and sound in the arms of his father
Joao Cancelo he is known all over the world for being one of the strongest and most talented outside defenders, the so-called full-backs. Well, a few days ago he is and will be remembered also for something he did that has little or nothing to do with football. He became the protagonist of a heroic gesture that elevated him to champion even in life, as well as in sport.
Joao Cancelo is a well-known face also to the Italian footballhaving passed, in the past years also in two of the most glorious clubs of the whole boot: Inter and Juventus.
He left Italy definitively in 2019, after one season in Milan and one in Turin, to join what is currently his new team, the Manchester City.
At the court of Pep Guardiola, one of the most successful coaches ever, he has grown even more on a technical level, to the point of being considered as one of the strongest full backs in the world.
This year, although there was a lot of disappointment over the elimination in the Champions League by the English rivals Liverpool, the “citizens” were still able to rejoice for the victory of the Premier League (English league). Victory that came, among other things, in the last minutes of the last game and putting the Reds themselves behind in the standings.
The heroic gesture of Joao Cancelo
At the referee’s triple whistle, it is all the joy of the fans exploded of Manchester City, who, as usual on these occasions, have left their seats in the stadium to enter the field and celebrate with their sporting idols.
Among these was also little Olliea 10-year-old autistic child, who has strayed a little too far from his father in the crowd and is left alone.
To tell what happened next, he thought about it motherinterviewed by the British broadcaster Manchester Evening News.
He is unaware of the dangers he can run, he was excited and ran towards the field. Ollie was terrified, then he saw Cancelo and walked over to him. Joao pulled him close, gave him a kiss on her forehead and hugged him like a bear does to protect him. People pushed, but he protected it. If it hadn’t been for Cancelo he would have been crushed by the fans.
There are no words to thank Cancelo for what he did. He probably didn’t realize how important his gesture was and I don’t dare to think about what could have happened to Ollie had he not intervened. Cancelo was my son’s second favorite player, but he’s definitely the first now.
