He Atlético de Madrid look with concern at what is happening in the Euro Cup with one of his players. We refer to Joao Felix, forward of the Portuguese national team and colchonero until 2029, which is said to be soon. At this point in the film it is no longer clear that neither the player Viseu will play for the colchonero team while Diego Simeone be your coach; neither him Cholo You will have confidence in him again until there is a radical change in attitude and disposition on his part. Something that does not seem like it will happen in the medium or short term.
That is to say, everything leads to trying to find the least malicious solution for the problem. Atlético de Madrid, let’s not forget, invested no less than 127 million euros in the footballer at the time, making him the most expensive signing in the club’s history. The team of Metropolitan I hoped that the Euro Cup served so that the player showed himself in Europa again, in the most attractive national team tournament in the ‘Old Europe‘. A circumstance that would help unblock his situation for the upcoming campaign.
In the offices it was understood that the Euro Cup It could be the perfect escape, as it was a short tournament (special for the player as Simeone shot in his day), so that he could revalue himself. But the reality is being different, very contrary to the interests of the Atlético. The footballer on loan during last season in the FC Barcelonanor did he have any minutes in the match on the second day of group F of the Euro 2024 contra Türkiyeas already happened in the first appointment last Tuesday before the Czech Republic.
The attacker warmed up during a stretch of the match, but the coach, Roberto Martinez, he did not choose him to enter among the five changes he made. He is one of the four field players of the Portuguese team who have not yet been used in this Euro Cup by Roberto Martínez, next to Gonçalo Ramos, Danilo Pereira y Matheus Nunes, other goalkeepers Rui Patricio y José Sa.
Tremendous for a player like him who at the time happened to be one of those who were targeted as a future player. Golden Ball.
MORE SUBSTITUTE THAN HEADLINE
No matter how hard the player and his environment try, the reality of the numbers speaks for itself. Since he gave his best version, with Diego Pablo Simeone as a coach, in the title season of LaLiga 20/21, his contribution has been decreasing not only for the Cholo, but for the rest of the coaches he has come across. Today his role is more of a substitute than a starter.
In it Atléticoin his first part of the 22/23 campaign, the one that he seems to want to forget because he did not have a good time as he commented and the one that led him to break with the mattress team, he started in 55% of the games, in 11 of 20 Furthermore, during his loan spell at Chelsea, that percentage dropped to 52% of the games, 11 out of 21, although it is true that he was suspended for three games due to his expulsion in his debut with the London team. Talk later already from three different coaches, Simeone, Potter y Lampardfor whom it was not indisputable.
Nor was it the case in the recently concluded campaign, with Xavi Hernandez, where he started in 24 of 44 games. We are talking about 54.5% of the matches in the culé team. Even below his worst season in the Atlético.
Nor is he being the undisputed holder with Roberto Martínez. In the 17 games he has coached ‘As Quinas’, João It started in only seven of them, 41.7%.
UNCERTAIN FUTURE
He FC Barcelona keep counting on him. The arrival of Hansi Flick It is the lifeline that the player and his environment cling to, to see if this time, four coaches later, he is capable of asserting himself and being the player that everyone believed he could become. In it Atlético There is no desire to repeat the experience of last year.
The mattress club negotiated at a disadvantage due to the end of the market and it is something that they wanted to avoid again. He Atlético wants to sell him and he Barça can’t pay it. The emergence of new actors was expected. For this, it was assumed that in the Euro Cup Something could be seen that would encourage a club to go after the player so as not to have to see him again in a rival for LaLiga who also scored in the two games in which he played against the colchoneros.
The idea remains the same, that the Catalan team is not their destiny. But reality does not exactly help the Atlético to have many alternatives.
