“Joao is not the perfect player for Atlético, in Madrid he would be at a higher level”

Carlos Carvalhalcoach Rio Ave, from the Portuguese first division, has talked about Joao Félix and from the first season of the Portuguese player in the Atlético de Madrid. The coach, in line with other compatriots who have spoken in the same sense, believes that the style of the mattress team penalizes the footballer, who will reappear on Wednesday in Pamplona, ​​and that in another team, such as the Real Madrid or the Barcelona, it would be better.

Carvalhal's statements on the program 'Play footballCadena Ser will make people talk. “João Félix He is a great player and I do not want to create controversy with my statements. He is a player with incredible technical ability, with a high level. But I'm not sure if Atlético de Madrid's way of playing is the best for him. That was my doubt when he signed for the rojiblanco club. Diego Simeone is a great coach. Their teams are very strong, very competitive. But João Félix doesn't seem like the perfect player to be there, ”said Carvalhal.

In addition, the Rio Ave coach believes that elsewhere, the conditions of the Portuguese footballer would be enhanced. “In a different context we would see a great João Félix. It will be a little difficult and it will take more time. You are going to have to transform as a player. If I went to a team like Real Madrid I would be at a higher level. Or the Barcelona. The context would be more favorable for him. This is not a criticism of Simeone, there is no doubt what he has achieved. His work speaks for him. I just think that this marriage is not the best, “he said.
