The Barça coach made very harsh comments about his new defector, Joao Felix.
FC Barcelona coach Xavi told Joao Felix directly that he was not his choice of recruitment.
Xavi didn’t want Joao Felix
Felix joined Barca on Friday on loan from Atlético de Madrid. Undesirable at Matelassiers and snubbed by English clubs after his delicate stint at Chelsea, the Lusitanian international therefore benefited from an incredible opportunity to rebound within a European giant. He can consider himself lucky, especially since Xavi was not necessarily in favor of his coming.
Eduardo Inda, head of Okdiario media, said on El Chiringuito: “Xavi told Joao Félix verbatim that he was not his choice. Not very kindly, politely, as is the case with Xavi. He didn’t put in the form.”
The Spanish journalist continued by indicating that Joao Felix was entitled to a reception for the least complicated on the Camp Nou side. Xavi told him two, three little things. The first is that he didn’t ask for it. The second is that he is neither the first, nor the second, nor the third option in his position. The third is that if you do it right, you have more options than anyone”.
Is Felix’s cause at Barcelona doomed? Not necessarily. ” He finds himself on the bench like at Atlético de Madrid, there are problems. He has been trying to demonstrate (his abilities) for six years. Xavi does not tell him that he does not have it, he tells him that he did not ask for his signature, but that if he performs, he has possibilities”.
