See Joao Félix triumphing at FC Barcelona

The past summer, the FC Barcelona paid the clause of rescission of Antoine Griezmann, enciphered in 120 million euros, to do with the services of the French forward. The Athletic of Madrid, taking advantage of this economic injection and in front of the need to look for him a substitute to the leading Frenchman, opted by the arrival of Joao Félix, that to his 19 years cost a total of 127 'kilos'.

A lot it expected of the Portuguese, that had shined with own light in the Benfica and that expected that it followed suit in Wanda Metropolitan. By the moment, however, the reality is very distinct, since the luso has not achieved to adapt of the all to the style of game that proposes Simeone and to day of today does not offer to the picture 'colchonero' the provision that expected of him.

One of which better know to Joao Félix is Joao Mario, current player of the Lokomotiv of Moscow that shares changing room with the attacker youngster rojiblanco in the Portuguese selection. In a recent an interview conceded to 'Elevate Sports', spoke about the adaptation of his compatriot, that is not being at all easy in Wanda Metropolitan owing to the style of game of the Madrilenian.

"It is not easy to adapt to the Athletic, to Joao Félix would come him better a style like the one of the Barça"

"The Athletic is one of these teams that, seen from out, is very very worked, as if it was an Italian team playing in Spain", explained, to differentiate his role of the that did him triumph in his previous team: "The 80 percent of the game of the Benfica consisted in going to the attack. Therefore, beside the pressure of the price, is not being easy for him in terms of adaptation".

This yes, for Joao Mario, his fellow Joao Félix made a mistake fichando by the Athletic since, in his opinion, had been able to fit much better in the FC Barcelona,​ where could triumph. "Be, for example, in a Barcelona, although of course the pressure could be bigger, the style of game could adapt more to him. It would be where would fit better, really likes me this style of game", sentenced.

Admirer of Joao Félix

In a previous talk with 'Channel 11', Joao Mario already there was elogiado to Joao Félix. "I think that it will be a very successful footballer, is clearly somebody that has a different aroma, that is different", ensured, adding that "the first time that trained with him darse immediately. There are players to which really likes me see play and he is one of them".

The Portuguese considers that the fact to pay big quantities by a signing, does not affect in the performance of the player. "The value of the transfer that pays by a player does not weigh us during the game. You try abstraerte the maximum possible of this factor, but obviously know the investment that did and want to correspond to her, so it finishes influencing somehow", said.

This yes, wanted to warn to the Athletic about the arrival of Joao Félix. "In the case of Joao Félix, is natural to speak and sopesar, but if you buy a player by this quantity when is 19 years old, can not expect that the boy was the salvation of all the problems even more in a team that is almost Italian by his enormous tactical component", sentenced.
