Joao Félix gave an interview to the newspaper ‘AS’ where he extensively reviewed his sports career, from when he signed for Atlético de Madrid until his arrival in London to join Chelsea in this winter market.
The ‘Menino’ recognized that he has adapted well to the English capital, to his new club, of which he highlighted “it shows that he has a lot of money” and to the ‘blue’ dressing room, “integrated” from the first moment.
Joao Felix has established a connection with the Spanish players (Cucurella, Kepa, Azpilicueta) and valued the first days of Enzo Fernandez in the template. “He’s a very good player. He arrived two days before a match and he’s already started playing. He deserves the money they’ve paid because he’s a very good player”he pointed.
The Portuguese, who will compete again after three sanctioned matches, points out that the Premier League is “less tactical” than LaLiga: “It’s a dueling competition, chances are immediately created”.
The former athlete did not refuse to assess his relationship with Diego Pablo Simeone, one of the reasons why he does not continue to visit the rojiblanca in Canillejas. “He has his way of understanding and seeing football that others don’t have. He is a very good coach. It has made me a better player. It is normal for the technician to have more confidence in some than in others“, he snapped.
Joao Félix stated that he was not sorry for having signed for Atlético and does not close the door to return to the Metropolitan. To return to the mattress discipline in the summer, the attacker would meet again with Vinicius, in the eye of the hurricane this season. The ex-benfiquista defends the Brazilian and does not understand his criticism of football. “Perhaps he is criticized because he is better than the others. He dribbles like others do not dribble. He scores goals, assists. He is my friend, I talk to him and I like his football. People say it provokes, but I don’t think it provokes“, assured the Portuguese.

The Chelsea forward supported the ‘7’ of the ‘quinas’ and maintains that his attitude during the World Cup in Qatar was “very good”: “He gave us confidence and an idea that we were all together. It was very good for us. We were a bit surprised to see him on the bench, although that was the coach’s decision.”
