The morbid reunion between Joao Felix y Simeone has arrived. This next day, Sunday the 3rd at 9:00 p.m. In Montjuïc, the striker and the coach will face each other in a League match that is crucial for both teams. The Portuguese will go in good scoring form after recovering the goal against the Porto in Champions. The Argentine, with his Atlético in a full state after winning the Feyenoord y be effervescent in LaLiga.
“Of course it’s important to score goals, but I worry more about my performances because I know that, if I play well, the goal will end up coming. I went 12 games without scoring, but that tells me little, because I was doing things well, I was helping to the team and now it has appeared… and it may continue to appear. But my goal is to play well,” he explained to TNT Sports.
The departure of Joao Felix of the Atlético It had been intuited for a long time, long before August. His transfer to Barça It was not something unexpected. The bad relationship with Simeone ended up exploding last season. It was something unsustainable. In January, Joao Felix He tightened the rope until he achieved the transfer to the Chelsea. Own Gil Marin took advantage of the World Cup Qatar to make the situation clear: “He has the highest level in the world, but the relationship between the coach and him is not good, nor is his motivation. It is reasonable to think that he will leave, although I would love for him to continue, but that is not the player’s idea. “.
The problems came from before, since his signing. Simeone He never saw him as the ideal substitute for Griezmann, who left Atleti that summer to join Barça and less for the 127 million it cost. The rojiblanco coach did not manage to extract the best version of him in the following four years, although rojiblanco sources point out that part of the responsibility for his performance lay with the player himself. His statistics and his injuries didn’t help him. Joao Felix He was also frustrated because he didn’t often play where he likes, where he feels most dangerous and useful.
So, little by little, the most tense moments happened. Joao Felix He made gestures showing his anger every time he left the field, with rudeness in front of the cameras, going to the locker room, kicking the seats on the bench or throwing away his bib after warming up and not leaving. Simeone tried to dose the minutes to make him happy.
Everything exploded in summer, when Joao Felix He stated that his dream was to play in the Barça Although it is part of the Atlético. She did it to pressure his exit, which ended up happening. Simeone He revealed that he had no problem with the Portuguese. He also added: “I don’t clash with him, I am clear and I tell him what I feel. He knows what my coaching profile is and he knows that I like to train with great joy.” Joao Felix He also said on some occasion: “He has his own way of understanding and seeing football that others don’t have. He is a very good coach,” in addition to acknowledging: “He has made me a better player.”
