As happened last summer Joao Felix get excited again. The Portuguese signed a great meeting with his team, on Saturday before Croatia, in which he achieved his first goal with the Portuguese team, something he had been pursuing since he made his debut with the absolute in May 2019. “He had been looking for that goal for several games,” he confessed at the end of the game.
A dry shot from the edge of the area, after crashing a ball into the wood in the first act, was his first filmmaker with Portugal. The footballer of the Atlético de Madrid, who already last month, in the eighth of the Champions League, was one of the most prominent of the rojiblanco team in the clash against the Leipzig.
And that he was a substitute, something that was taken for granted watching the team's training sessions, and given that he had just come out of an injury that had him in the dry dock in the final stretch of LaLiga. He was only on the pitch for half an hour, but enough to be the one who led the most danger against the Germans. He caused the penalty that he himself transformed to put the provisional tie on the scoreboard. Then the second of the Germans would arrive to end the hopes of doing something great in their country.
Joao is at a good level. As he was also last summer, when he marveled at the mattress box in the preseason, with good performances in friendlies against Juventus or Real Madrid. Then a ragged version of Joao was seen throughout the course. Nine points scored the Portuguese.
This season, which Joao has started well again, must be his confirmation at Atlético. In your second year, you are called to step forward. In the rojiblanco club everyone trusts that this is the case, starting with their coach, Diego Simeone, who hopes to exploit all the virtues of the young Portuguese talent. For now, the start is exciting.
