Crossfire in the preview of FC Barcelona-Atlético de Madrid next Sunday (9:00 p.m.). Duel with many attractions, with the reunion between Joao Félix and the club that continues to be his property (especially with ‘Cholo’ Simeone), the return of Antoine Griezmann to Barcelona, where he could not materialize.
The French footballer himself made reference to Joao for the microphones of ‘Movistar + ‘: “In the end when you get here you know more or less what the coach is like, what the team is like, you adapt and work for it or things don’t work out for you.” ” Joao had moments when he did very well, when he worked very well, but you have to be constant and there came a time when he got tired , he couldn’t see himself here anymore and that’s why he and the club made the effort to give him a way out.”
Well, Antoine’s words did not sit particularly well with the Portuguese player. Joao was reunited with the goal last Tuesday in the most important moment of the season. It was key with the 2-1 against Porto that meant direct qualification and virtual first place in the group for Barça.
Joao Félix was at a high level and both Xavi and the club are confident that he is on an upward path. He had lowered his performance a little, but everyone is aware of the Portuguese’s enormous talent. It remains to be molded and trust is created. There are already four goals this season with Barça.
“I don’t agree, he has his opinion and I’m not going to comment on it,” Joao said about Griezmann’s words. “There are things that I and everyone could have done better. There are things that have not gone well but it is not just the fault of one, but of several.”
