The 19-year-old Joao Felix, who has become the fourth most expensive player in the world and a record purchase for Madrid's Atletico, is swarmed with comparisons to Cristiano Ronaldo. This week, J. Felix officially presented himself as the new Atletico player and in his first interview stated that he does not want to be considered the new C. Ronaldo, with whom he has already shared the pitch wearing the Portuguese national team shirt. "I came here to write my own story," the footballer said. "He is Cristiano Ronaldo, and I want to be remembered as Joao Felix." "He is an amazing player, currently the best in the world and maybe even one of the best in history. I talked to him about the city, he said he really likes Madrid," the Portuguese continued. When asked if he feels pressure to replace the team's leader of the past few years, Antoine Griezmann, J. Felix replied: "I never put myself in that position. I came here to do my job - help the team. Talk of pressure is not relevant to me." It is worth noting that Atletico did not hesitate to spend a whopping 126 million euros on the promising footballer.
