Joao Felix’s career at Atletico Madrid could be coming to a bitter end as he appeared to take aim at manager Diego Simeone after Portugal’s 6-1 win over Switzerland on Tuesday night.
The 23-year-old produced a stellar performance as he helped his side secure a place in the World Cup quarter-finals.
After the match, Felix spoke about the difference in style between his international team and his club, appearing to take an aim at Simeone’s well-known defensive style of play.
“When the conditions are favourable, things go better. The preparation was the same as the other games. We saw what was best and worst and played because of that, not losing our identity. We played a great game, perhaps the best so far.
“We are focused and believe completely in us. I hope it’s been shown that we have a great team, we know what we want. We have the support of everyone, and won’t be held back.”

According to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, Felix said: “I’m completely focused on the World Cup. My agent doesn’t tell me anything about what’s going to happen, nor does he want to.
