Jose Mourinho’s Opinion Regarding Joao Felix

DBasia.news –  Atletico Madrid, as if they did not want to lose to Real Madrid, also shopped in the transfer market this summer.

After releasing Antoine Griezmann to Barcelona, ​​Atletico did not waste time and immediately recruited his successor, Joao Felix. He was brought in from Benfica with a fantastic transfer value of 126 million euros, which also made him the fourth most expensive player in history.

Joao Felix’s merge to Metropolitano has certainly invited comments from various parties, including the ex-Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho. The portugese assessed that the player had to prove the quality he possessed, even though on the other hand he would also receive a lot of pressure from the public.

“Joao Felix was immediately confronted with challenges (after deciding to leave Atletico Madrid), as he has extraordinary talent, we also have to see how much investment the club is making,” Mourinho said as reported by Football Espana.

“I don’t think he can run away or avoid these responsibilities. Age is not an obstacle, no matter how old a player is, 18, 20 or 25 years old,” added the man who had also managed to coach Chelsea.

So far, Joao Felix seems to have answered Mourinho’s challenge, the 19-year-old player has always been Diego Simeone’s first choice in the preseason and has several times listed his name on the scoreboard, including when his team was faced with a challenging match against Real Madrid and Juventus.
