Figo gives Simeone adive: "Joao will perform better in his own position"

Luis Figo did an interview with 'Marca' this weekend. In it, the Portugal legend gave some advice to Simeone on Joao Félix.

Figo didn't hold back when advising Simeone on the best position for the young Portuguese striker.

"Joao is a young player with a long way to go, he is going to be much better than he is now in the future, but he is a player that has to play in his natural position to perform at his peak", declared the Portuguese.

He added: "He can play on the wing, but it is difficult, in terms of his performance levels, you are going to get much more out of him down the middle, he has goals in him, and that is what wins you football matches".

It is Félix's second season at Atletico, and the former Benfica man has been on fire. He has played in 10 games, scoring seven goals and offering up two assists.
