Calendar of FC Barcelona

Joao Félix has recovered his best version and, especially, the confidence since it arrived to the FC Barcelona the last day of the market of signings estival, through a loan. After a beginning of season complicated with the Athletic of Madrid, in which it was forcing his exit and did not go in in the plans of the 'Cholo' Simeone, the Portuguese attacker has freed of the pressure in his stay in the City Condal and has had the opportunity to be, again, important.

The change has been more than evident. In addition to that has gone back to feel to taste with his football and is being important, with three goals and two assistances in eight parties, the life has changed him a lot to Joao. His trainer in Portugal, Roberto Martínez, has spoken recently on the changes that has observed in the player of 23 years since it is in the rows of the Barça.

The significant change of Joao Félix

Martínez has commented that, from the first time that saw to Joao train after confirming his traspaso to the Catalan group, in the stop of selections of the month of September, the difference was important. "From the first moment that saw to train to Joãor Félix after returning to Spain notice the difference. The Premier League is a very complicated league and with few spaces inside", said in 'The Crossbar', doing reference to his go through Chelsea in which it could not show his more effective version.

The seleccionador of Portugal has underlined that "exist very few players with his talent, with capacity to go inside and out. Has desborde in the one against one, goal... Joao Félix is in another dimension", insisting in that "what truly matters is his paper in the field and in the changing room. It sees that Joao Félix feels important. Now you see it play and notices him another viveza".

The future of Joao, in the Barça?

As it has recognised Martínez, the Barça is giving him the confidence that so much needed and longed for the player of 23 years. Now only it remains to see if it will be something on a long-term basis, because still the club has not done any movement to ensure his continuity further of 30 June 2024, when it wins his cession. The Athletic of Madrid is expecting of the call of the blaugrana, although they already have 'advanced' that his traspaso definite could rondar the 70 or 80 million euros.
