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.

Joao Felix isn't consistent enough for any coach to build the team around. He had 2 goals in la liga. He might want his club to try and play football like Barcelona, but Atletico has more goals than Barca this season and is playing better football, first half tonight aside.

You can absolutely slot him into the Barca team. But you have to retool Atleti if you want him to play, and he's not that good.
