Simeone on Felix: “Now that his performance has slipped, someone else will play”
Diego Simeone spoke about the problem with Joao Felix at a press conference, stressing that he is not playing at the moment because he is not in good shape.
Diego Simeone, in his statements at the press conference ahead of the Athletic Bilbao game, referred to the problem that arose with Joao Felix and his tendencies to leave Atletico, but also the gesture he made to him in the Brugge game.
Argentina’s Rojiblancos coach stressed that Felix is currently not playing as he is not in good shape and another player is playing and if he is in good shape he will return to the starting XI.
In detail what Simeone said about Felix: “If his performance was good, he played. Now that his performance has slipped, another player is playing. When he is healthy again, he will play. It’s about performance and others are doing it better.”.
Regarding Felix’s gestures when not competing: “ It’s normal that yesterday’s gesture, which went viral on social media, was because he was playing with De Paul. Now he is confused about himself and what he can do. You who are with the magnifying glass, think as you think. I say what I have to say to the players in the dressing room, not here“.
