Atletico Madrid manager, Diego Simeone, has been full of praise for his Portuguese star, João Félix after his display vs Ghana on Thursday evening. Felix operated in a front 3 alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes, as Portugal edged Ghana in a dramatic 3-2 victory.

After his £109M switch from Benfica in 2019, Simeone has failed to optimise Felix’s talent and has often benched Atletico Madrid’s record signing. The forward has only started 5 of 13 games this season in LaLiga. There has been talk of a potential exit for the forward as early as January.

Simeone however, who is in Doha at the World Cup, has hailed Felix stating : “I saw him very well. It’s an ideal tournament for him, short, where you see the beauty, the speed, where you fall in love with players like him. He played with a lot of personality, playing in accordance with what the team needed and he played a part in the three goals.” (MARCA)
