In the world of football, the two giants who have dominated the game for years are slowly entering a decline, and the ball is already falling to young players to reach that level in the future. Both Joao Félix and Ansu Fati have their eyes on that prize. Paulo Futro, Atletico Madrid legend, discussed all this when he was interviewed on 'El Larguero' for 'Cadena SER'.
"Joao Felix is a genius. Every time the ball comes to him, he does something with it. This year we won't see Joao for 15 or 20 minutes without touching the ball. He and Luis Suárez are a perfect match", said the Portuguese.
He went even further when asked to choose between him and Ansu Fati, he didn't hesitate and chose the Portuguese, "I'm sticking with Joao Felix. The golden boy is unique. He will be fighting for the Balon D'Or very soon".
When asked about Luis Suárez's debut performance he answered: "He looks like a young boy, he's like a kid!" With the Uruguayan, he believes that nothing is out of Atletico's reach.
"Atlético can go toe to toe with the best for all the trophies. With Cholo Simeone everything is possible," said the former Portuguese player.
Finally, Futre believes that Álvaro Morata made the best choice this summer in the face of Luis Suarez's transfer, reminding listeners that his best year was at Juventus.
