On Sunday, Spain will have its eyes fixed on the duel between Atlético de Madrid and its neighbor, Real. An important meeting, especially for the Colchoneros who alternate between good and bad this season. In addition to the big poster, Diego Simeone’s men are scrutinized for a rather surprising reason: the promising debut of João Félix with FC Barcelona. The Portuguese seems to be shining in Catalonia and proved it in the Champions League. So obviously, in Spain, some are wondering about Atlético’s management of the former Benfica man’s case.
If many Madrid players have often pointed the finger at João Félix’s attitude, Alvaro Morata does not doubt for a single second the latter’s phenomenal abilities. “He’s a player who has enormous talent, it’s not me who’s going to discover it now. There are times when things are not working somewhere and a change is needed, but I believe he also had great moments at Atleti., declares the Spanish striker for DAZN. He adds: “he’s a very young boy and you never know in the world of football, maybe he will be very important tomorrow at Atlético de Madrid, or maybe not. It’s not me who should decide. The only thing I know is that he is a good boy and that he is a different player from most players.. Generous words from Morata who still believes in the current Barcelona playmaker.
