Most of the signings that FC Barcelona made in the last summer transfer window have adapted seamlessly into the club. Gundogan has continued playing just as he was at Manchester City, and Romeu has become a trusted starter for Xavi.
Cancelo is also already gelled with the team and has put in highly effective performances in the last two games. However, the player who has surprised the most with his adaptation at the new club is the Portuguese forward Joao Felix.
Felix’s case was different from these other players as he had been struggling to regain his form since his move to Atletico Madrid, and the last season was particularly poor for him.
Club surprised by Felix
According to a report from Mundo Deportivo, coaches and staff at the Catalan club are also surprised by the quick adaptation of Felix at the club. The Portuguese forward has fitted fully in the locker room, and even the skeptics are now convinced of his quality.
It is not only his performances on the pitch that have surprised the staff at the club, but his dedication in training, willingness to adapt to the Barcelona style of play, intensity in exercises, and keenness to adapt to Xavi’s instructions have all been impressive.
Eliminating doubts about his quality
This commitment from the forward is also being rewarded in the form of game time. He enjoyed playing in the last two games for Barcelona, especially as he had been ostracised from the Atletico Madrid team for some time now. He is also contributing to group solidarity at the new club and has involved everyone in celebrating his last string of goals.
Thus, Felix has been able to eliminate most of the doubts that some people at the club had regarding him. He is fast making a place in Barcelona fans’ hearts, and can go on to play an important role in helping Barcelona compete for the biggest trophies this season.
