Joao Félix: "I'll talk about Atlético de Madrid when the World Cup ends"

MADRID, 9 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Portuguese international Joao Félix has assured that he will talk about his future "when the World Cup ends", without revealing whether or not he will continue at Atlético de Madrid, and has stated that the national team and the rojiblanco team have "different mentalities", in addition to warning of the danger of Morocco, with whom they will meet this Saturday in the quarterfinals of the World Cup.

"Zero", he responded at a press conference to how much anxiety he has about his situation in the mattress team. "I am completely focused on the national team, on having a great World Cup and on helping this team, bringing joy to the Portuguese. Atlético de Madrid is to talk about when the World Cup is over, now I am focused here," he added.

However, the rojiblanco striker did talk about the differences between playing for Atlético and for the national team. "They are different ways of playing, different mentalities. Here I am playing for my country. I have played with some of my teammates for ten years, I have been playing with Dalot since I was nine years old. They are players that I have always been used to playing with, we talk the same language, we have played together in other clubs and national teams, and the mere fact of representing Portugal is an extra joy", he pointed out.

In another order of things, Joao Félix valued the statements of the international José Fontes, who assured that Portugal plays better collectively without Cristiano Ronaldo. "I don't feel that, I don't feel that obligation to pass the ball to Cristiano. We always try to do our best on the field, pass when it's the best solution, but everyone has their own opinion. Cristiano gives us things that we don't have when he is not there, we play differently, but the team always does well", he stressed.

However, he did not want to talk about the rumors about the possible departure of Cristiano from the national team. "I'm not going to answer that, it's already been discussed. I just want to leave a message for all the Portuguese and the media: Portugal is in a big competition, I think we should all be more united and not try to spoil the match and the atmosphere. that we have in the national team", he stated.

Finally, he assured how they will face the match against Morocco. "Our football and our offensive and defensive aspects will be there, and then it's just a matter of adjusting depending on how the others play and attack. Our identity will be there. If we want to keep winning, we have to do what we've been doing and if possible , improve," he concluded.
