According to Tasnim News Agency, Atletico Madrid’s Portuguese striker Joao Felix was one of the players that many expected to see him on the list of the best in the world of football when he left Benfica for the Spanish capital with a 120 million euro contract. However, he could not justify the huge sum that was spent on his transfer to Vandametropolitano.
But in an interview with Brazil’s TNT Sports, Felix claimed that the injury alone has prevented him from catching up with the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, but that he still has a chance to catch up with a new generation of football stars such as Killian Mbabane and Erling Holland. .
Asked if he could reach the level of French striker Paris Saint-Germain and Norwegian star Borussia Dortmund as Messi and Ronaldo replacements, Felix said: “Yes.” I have not reached my best yet. I’ve been constantly injured in the last few seasons and I haven’t had a year go by without an injury, but when that happens and I can have an injury-free season, I think I can try to reach that position.
Felix has made just three La Liga appearances and 121 appearances this season, in one of which he was sent off. He also played two games in the Champions League and was on the field for 106 minutes.
