Felix is having a hard time at Atletico Madrid, I don't know if the coach and the player are having issues because I don't see that connections between the coach and the player for him to start and he's not happy. Ever since he got back from the EPL on loan to Chelsea, he hasn't been the same player he was when he left on loan.

I don't think Joa Felix is a great footballer, but it's not easy to adapt to Diego Simeone's game plan. For an offensive footballer, working with Diego Simeone must be a nightmare.
In fact, Joa Felix had the chance to get away from Diego Simeone by playing for Chelsea in the second half of last season, but he didn't perform impressively at Chelsea and returned to Atletico Madrid. If he had done a bit better in the Premier League, I think he would have been a bit more likely to move to another team this season.Off Course Mate, Joào Felix is a great footballer, the problem is that a player like Felix shouldn't be working with a defensive formation coach as Diego Simeone because they're always been compact and always parking the bus. That game is almost boring for him to thrive.
He had a quick start for Chelsea but along the line the bad displays from the entire team infected him also.
He did better for the blues. Every new coach has his plans for the club and if a player doesn't fit into the project it must be communicated to the player before the transfer window gets to conclusion. All that need be is to join a club God at counter attacks.
