Barcelona forward, Joao Felix has come out to criticize Diego Simeone’s defensive managerial style. This is coming as he prepares to face his parent club this weekend, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he definitely prefers the attacking football he plays at Barcelona to the defensive style of play at Atletico because every player wants to attack and score goals.
Joao Felix added that the match would be a special one for him because Atletico was his home for the last four years.
His words, “For sure [I prefer] this style [at Barcelona] – me and every player. If you ask every player, if you ask the players from Atletico, too, they would prefer to play more time on the attack, for sure. If they don’t answer that, they are lying. Of course every player wants to attack, wants to have the ball and to score goals.”
On the game, “It’s a special game for me. Atletico was my home for the last four years, so of course I [left] with some good moments there. It’s always special to play against my old teammates. It will be good to see them again and to see how we play against them.”
WOW.
Futbol Club Barcelona is a professional football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, that competes in La Liga, the top flight of Spanish football.
Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, Catalan, German, and English footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto “Més que un club” (“More than a club”). Unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona. It is the third-most valuable sports team in the world, worth $5.51 billion, and the world’s fourth richest football club in terms of revenue, with an annual turnover of €582.1 million.
The official Barcelona anthem is the “Cant del Barça”, written by Jaume Picas and Josep Maria Espinàs. Barcelona traditionally play in dark shades of blue and garnet stripes, hence nicknamed Blaugrana.
In March 2021, Lionel Messi overtook Xavi’s record of 767 games played for the club, and presently has made 778 official appearances in all competitions, while also holding the record for the most appearances in La Liga matches for Barcelona, with 520.
