Joao Felix has been the great revelation of Chelsea this weekend. After some very hard weeks for the Portuguese striker, the former Atlético de Madrid player reappeared with the London team and put together a spectacular performance.
Joao’s arrival in London had not been easy. Pointed out by the mattress club and by Simeone, the footballer left in the winter market on loan in search of prominence. However, his sending off in his debut against Fulham was a very hard blow for the Portuguese attacker.
As a result, Joao Félix decided to reset and take advantage of the sanction matches to reset himself physically and mentally. In fact, he sent a message on social networks to ask the ‘blues’ fans for patience and the wait seems to have been worth it.
Joao Félix reconciles with Chelsea
He returned to play for Chelsea in a Premier League match against West Ham and he started with the full confidence of Graham Potter. Joao wanted to demonstrate his hunger for goals and he succeeded in spades. In just nine minutes he stood alone before Fabianski and, after hitting the ball to the post, he put the advantage on the scoreboard but the play was invalidated by offside and was left without being able to celebrate the goal.
Still, in the minute 16 he did get an award. In a spectacular center of Enzo Fernándezanother of the great signings of the London team this winter, Joao Félix sent a ball into the net with a elegant touch with the interior. The Portuguese opened his scoring chart in a match in which he was being the best.
The match ended in a tie and Chelsea could only get one point that is worth more for the emerging performance that the Portuguese aspires to give in the coming weeks. joao felix he reconciled with the ‘blues’ fans and is delighted with his leading role in London. At the moment, the roadmap is for the player to return to Madrid at the end of the season since there is no purchase option but, if he continues to grow, there may be a possibility of negotiating his transfer with an interesting offer for Atlético.
