Diego Simeone avoids comparisons between Joao Felix and Cristiano Ronaldo, but adds that he is satisfied with the young Portuguese's work.
This summer, "Atletico" did not spare 126 million euros for the 19-year-old J. Felix. Portuguese football fans hope that J. Felix will replace Cristiano Ronaldo in the future.
"I don't think Joao is similar to Cristiano," - immediately said D. Simeone. - I liked watching him from the day he arrived to the team. He reads the game well, has good ball control, and that says a lot about him being at such a young age".
"We want to put him in a situation where he can continue to improve and become the footballer that most people expect him to become," - added the coach.
"I am satisfied with all the team's newcomers. Felipe and Hermoso are slowly starting to settle in. Being able to play with all the newcomers at the same time will help us in the future.
The team is doing a great job, we have been together for about 20 days now. The new players are doing everything to reach the level that we demand," - added D. Simeone.
