‘Magic Joao’: More excitement than ever

Date:

Alvaro Morata is the great enemy of the success of Atletico Madrid against Getafe at the Coliseum (0-3) on the first day of LaLiga. But the Spanish international cannot be without joao felix. As the Portuguese shone in the regional derby, going so far as to provide three assists, the first two to Morata and the third, (although it cannot be considered as such, it counts) to Griezmann.

An outstanding start to the course to give continuity to what he showed in the preseason: Joao is ready to make this his year. To begin with, the Portuguese worked hard in the summer. First to recover from an injury that prevented him from finishing the last season on the pitch and second, to gain muscle mass. Something that is visible to the eye and proven in actions such as the one he starred against Manchester United in Oslo, when he collided with two rivals who went to the ground as he took the ball.

Joao Félix provided Morata with two assists against Getafe

The best version of Joao Félix passes with regularity. The Portuguese was called upon to provide a continuation of what was done on Monday at Getafe. And in this sense, it seems key that the injuries respect him, something that hasn’t happened since he signed for Atlético more than three years ago.

Every time Joao got into position and started to be important on the pitch, he had to stop. Sometimes because of muscle problems, sometimes because of tackles from rivals, who crushed their ankles with the approval of the arbitration panel. Something that worries Atlético, and many.

Purely sporting in the Metropolitan will highlight the change that the Portuguese have experienced in recent months. In the last episode of the last season, Joao who is loved by all has been seen. An unbalanced footballer full of quality, yes, but also goal oriented when it comes to defending and taking on responsibilities when they are not given.

Simeone sees him with different eyes

Something that Diego Simeone himself publicly acknowledged, for the last time on Monday, after beating Getafe. “More mature, stronger. He showed it in the last 14 games last year. This is noticeable in the field with weight. Look better than others. In the first he gave a great pass to Morata and in the second even more. He is in good condition. You don’t have to force it to be his season, but he worked hard to get to this situation. He worked for it. He is a very complete player and I hope he can uphold all these words on the pitch”, assured the Argentine coach, who seemed determined to bet without doubt on the Portuguese talent.

And the player, with humility as a flag, took the glove. “Let’s see if I’m lucky, I’m working hard to be at the best level, not to have injuries, but sometimes football is not fair, I hope this year there will be no injuries and then I will surely be at a good level because I am working for that”. Magic Joao is ready for it to be his year.
