    I watched him against Feyenoord and he looked like he was hiding himself, even if he did get a lot of actual game play. One of the sources in that link notes the same thing "Esconde-se" - he hides himself. Seems to point to a real lack of confidence in his part - surprising insofar as he usually starts relatively strong everywhere he goes before falling off.

    I don't know about all that. He was great at Benfica and had very good periods for Atletico - just not enough to justify what they spent on him.

    That's Sid Lowe writing about how Felix was the best player in La Liga that season (writing this in November 2020) and he was right - he was and Atletico won La Liga that year. People like to forget this stuff about my pal Joao.

    He's had his moments in his career - there's a reason great clubs keep punting on him.

    At the same time, he was considered as a flopped player.
    Felix has world-class talent but is never consistent enough.

    This debate is still going on? He's a fraud that was settled years ago.

    Anyone claiming he was "great at Benfica" is a benfiquista that still believes the Portuguese liga isn't soccer's equivalent to WWE. And he was flat out trash at Atletico as much as the tried to play him he sucked so bad that they subbed him or benched him frequently. Hopefully Martinez has the balls to leave him home for the Nations League and call Pote instead

    Jorge Mendes needs to make his money, so expect his gimp, Martinez, to call him up no matter how dog shit of a player he is

    It's the coach's fault bro. Just one more team or two and you will see how Felix the GOAT.

    AC Milan want nothing to do with Felix once the loan is over.

    What's next for Felix? Galatasaray? Cerlce Brugge? AEK Athens? Anorthosis?

    It’ll be benfica and when he inevitably fails there he’ll ******** off to SA, where he will continued to be called up over much more deserving players.
