“Analyze His Compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo”- Joao Felix Advised to Take ‘Mentality’ Lessons From His NT Captain by Atletico Madrid Legend

In the summer transfer window, Joao Felix finally ended his Atletico Madrid nightmare. Following a subpar seasons with Chelsea and Athletico Madrid, he signed a season long loan for rivals Barcelona. However, the Portuguese forward has failed to consistently perform there as well. Amid the criticism, a former Atletico Madrid legend has pointed out that the 24-year-old should take inspiration from his national teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.

It will be interesting what decision does Xavi take on the future of the forward in the summer. As far as Felix himself is concerned, the second half of the season is going to be very important.

Cristiano Ronaldo to turn role model for Joao Felix again

In 2019, Spanish giants Atletico Madrid paid a record transfer fee of $130 million for Joao Felix. However, unfortunately, the Portuguese star never really settled in Diego Simeone’s team. This season with Barcelona, he scored and celebrated against them. Even before the goal, he has never really been a fan favorite. However, Atletico Madrid legend and former Sports director José Luis Pérez Caminero rates him very highly. But, he feels that the 24-year-old can improve. He said, “Consistency and someone to tell you the truths about football. I would advise him to analyze his compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo. That mentality of wanting to be the best every day is what you need and should take note of.”

When he moved to La Liga, Joao Felix spoke very highly about Cristiano Ronaldo. The Barcelona star further added that he, like several players, dreams of success that Cristiano Ronaldo has achieved. There is no doubt that his career in the big leagues has not got off to a great start. But, there is also no doubt that Joao Felix has the potential to become the future star of his club and country.

The 24-year-old will hope that he can get back soon into his goal-scoring form. It is also because the year 2024 is going to be very important in all aspects for the forward on loan with Barcelona
