Most people criticized Joao for his comments about Atletico but he was right. It's way easier to perform in a possesion side than in a defensive side

When you only touch the ball 5-10 times per game it's harder to perform that if you touch it 45-50 times per game. Joao wasn't lying when he said most players would prefer to touch the ball 50 times than 10 times.

Just compare today's game between Barca and Atletico. Just compare how much touches did Joao had in comparison to Griezzman and you would see how Joao actually had a point.

2 league goals in 12 games at Barca and 4 in 16 at Chelsea. This is a player that cost 100+ million not long ago. The biggest issue is that he is nowhere near that level regardless of who the manager is.

The Griezmann comparison over one game is also terrible. Griezmann has absolutely thrived under Simeone at Atletico, and that's what a top player actually looks like.
