Joao Felix was right about Simeone's style (alien.top)

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.

Lots MORE attackers have thrived at barcelona. ergo, he IS right by your own logic

Lol, no, not even remotely close. He is very wrong, and so are you.

Since Simeone came to Atleti, only Messi, Neymar and Suarez have really thrived. Maybe Villa and Lewa first season.

Griezman, Dembele, Zlatan, Auba, Alexis Sanchez, Depay, Alcacer, Munir, Brainwaite, Boateng... Neither of those was really a success.

Now, on Atlético, pretty much every striker they signed became a star and was sold for massive profit: Falcao, Griezmann, Costa, Forlán, Agüero. And to a point, Mandzukic and Villa.

Felix is the first real flop.
