DBasia.news – Joao Felix is one of the young players who was predicted to become a star in the future, replacing the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristano Ronaldo. However, now his performance is starting to decline, especially since he decided to leave Benfica to Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2019.
With the prospects he had as a young player, Atletico Madrid at that time dared to redeem him with a transfer value of 120 million euros, equivalent to 1.97 trillion rupiah.
However, he has not shown his best performance to date, where in his first season the player who is now 21 years old only scored 6 goals and contributed 1 assist, and scored 7 goals and contributed 6 assists in his second season.
Meanwhile, so far this season, Joao Felix has still not contributed goals to the Atletico Madrid squad, even though he has been given 5 chances to play for a total of 227 minutes.
Even so, he still believes that he is able to compete with two of the best young players at the moment, Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to become the world’s best players in the future, providing his performance is not hampered by injuries as before.
“I haven’t reached my best level yet. In the last few seasons I’ve had a few injuries and I haven’t enjoyed an injury-free season. But when it happens, I think I can fight to be in that position (at the same level as Mbappe and Haaland),” Joao Felix told Diario AS.
