Insight into the personal world of the top football player

Portuguese international João Cancelo became world-famous through his performances for Valencia, Inter Milan, Juventus, Manchester City or Bayern Munich. What drives a professional footballer in this league to train day in, day out? How does he deal with the ups and downs in his job? What does the free time between games mean to him? The personal sides of the attack-minded outside defender remain hidden from most fans.

Now it is possible to gain insight into the personal world of João Cancelo.

The DBF008-03-20 on the wrist of the top player

For one month, João Cancelo wore a watch by DuBois et fils on his wrist. It is an automatic watch with original Swiss movement.
