Diego Simeone encouraged by Joao Felix's display

The Hindu  

Diego Simeone was encouraged by the performance of Joao Felix in Tuesday's 2-0 Champions League win at Lokomotiv Moscow, convinced that will help him further his improvement. The Portugal international scored Atletico's first goal from close range after chasing up his own effort that rebounded back off the goalkeeper, before then playing a key role in its second — winning the ball back and picking out Diego Costa, who squared to Thomas Partey for the finish. 'Most involved in the rhythm of the game' "It was the match in which he was most involved, possibly, in the rhythm of the game," Simeone told reporters ahead of Sunday's trip to Real Valladolid. And, according to the coach, that is advantage Joao Felix brings; he can feature either out wide or in a support role behind two main strikers.
