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.

Don’t Atletico Madrid have the most goals in the Champions League. They have been one of the highest scorers in Europe all 2023 so far. Today they didn’t play well for sure but Felix was poor too often

It’s not that they didn’t play well or anything, Xavi was just too good for Simione.
