Snip.
Joao Felix's arrival to Barcelona on loan made several people joke on social media, that when he was still playing at Atletico Madrid he was a reserve player, while playing at Chelsea he lacked the playing minutes given by the coach and at Barcelona he lacked salary. Joao Felix has indeed experienced difficult times in the last two seasons and hopefully at Barcelona he can prove his quality despite receiving a much lower salary. It's time for Joao Felix to prove to the Atletico Madrid coach that not giving him a place in the main squad was the wrong decision and now Barcelona will give him the opportunity to prove it.
Deciding to play with Barcelona was more about something else and I saw that he didn't want his place in the Portuguese national team to be replaced by another player because if this season he didn't get more playing minutes at the club, then the national team coach would definitely doubt him appearing for the country. Especially now that not many clubs want him, so when Barcelona decided to recruit him on loan, it was a good decision for him to join.
The perception of football fans is certainly different from Xavi view of Joao Felix's abilities, the coach certainly has his own point of view on the quality of the players he recruits. Joao Felix could have released his full potential after being cared for by Xavi, the coach believes he can help his development in the future. Barcelona could only bring him on loan due to the club's financial limitations, but Xavi really needed his presence to maintain the depth of Barcelona front lines. Felix is very happy to be at Barcelona, while Xavi will try to put confidence in him like he did with Lamine Yamal. Felix should take advantage of his loan spell at Barcelona for a better future, Xavi faith in Felix will determine his direction with the Portugal national team.
