"Joao Felix is not a star, he has a gift"

Everybody knows the quality he has as a player. People could think that being so young, maybe he is ready, but the Portuguese championship is a very good championship. There are always big players, such as Joao Felix", Diego Costa in an interview with "Que partidazo!".

The striker is in love with Joao Felix's personality. "When he first arrived, I saw a very quiet person who listens. He is not a guy who wants to be a star and that is good because our dressing room is all like that, no matter how much a person has a different way of seeing things, when he arrives and sees that the team is calm, he enters into that dynamic," he analysed.

From the first minute, Diego Costa knew that the young Joao Felix was ready to triumph at Atletico. "He arrived here and showed his quality, against Real Madrid, against Juventus and in training... people immediately saw that he has something different, a gift," he highlighted.

Together, they form an incredible attacking pair. "From the match against Madrid we saw that we could get on well. He likes to take the last pass, look towards the opposite goal ... and that for me, as an attacker, suits me very well," he said.

In another order, Diego Costa referred to Griezmann's exit. "His dream was to play with Messi, he is not ungrateful. He wanted to try things ...", he concluded.
