Ex-Benfica striker misfiring? Jorge Jesus: He’s a creator | OneFootball

João Félix's performance at Al Nassr has been experiencing a period of less brilliance. The former Benfica player once again failed to score in Al Nassr's last match. The goal drought the Portuguese forward is going through is not a problem for Jorge Jesus.

"João [Félix] is a creator, he is the player who provides the most assists and goals to the team and to the players who play in front of him, like [Sadio] Mané, Cris [Ronaldo], and [Kingsley] Coman, but he is also a finisher. He has a very advanced technical quality," began the Portuguese coach.

"He started the championship scoring many goals, now he has been creating numerous opportunities for the team to score, numerous assists... I am not very worried about that because I know he is a creator," added the former Benfica coach.

"He is a creator of solutions for the team. Therefore, as long as he continues to create the solutions he has been creating, I am extremely satisfied with his performance. Sooner or later, he will start scoring goals again," concluded the Al Nassr coach.

Despite the goal drought, João Félix has proven to be decisive for the Saudi team, contributing with several assists. Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo has returned to scoring, after returning to competition against Al Fateh, two games after going on strike.
