Joao Felix's brother Hugo Felix, who plays at Benfica, spoke about how he thinks it is going for his brother at Atletico. He said that he thinks he is happy, he has scored three goals in the last few games, after all, which is a way of silencing the rumours linking him with an exit in January. However, if it were up to him, he would have carried on with him in Portugal.
Atletico Madrid are considering selling off several players this January to be able to offset the disappointment of the Champions League. They will need money if they want to sign players.
Joao Felix is one of the players who may be on the way out. Manchester United are supposedly interested in getting the Portuguese man on board.
As much as his exit is talked about, Hugo Felix said that he thinks he is happy at Atletico. "When he's good, I am too. When he's sad, so am I. I think he's happy at Atletico. In the last three games he's scored three goals. There's nothing better for a player than scoring goals", he said to 'Canal 11'.
Hugo Felix said that he should have stayed in Portugal. "I don't think he should've left Benfica. He should've stayed until now to see if he still understands me", he said.
He admitted that being 'Joao Felix's brother', at times, can be a drain, despite being proud to be it: "It means that he's playing well. I've got this joke with everyone that one day he'll be 'Hugo's brother'. It's completely normal. There's a lot of examples of it. I'm really pleased to be his brother".
If he had to say one thing against his brother, Hugo Felix is sure about that: "He doesn't know how to win fouls", as he put this as his job to work on.
