João Félix? Ex-Benfica compatriot to critics: Those who doubted... | OneFootball

Fabiano Flora has absolutely no doubts about Al Nassr’s title win. The Al Bukayriyah coach stated that the team led by Jorge Jesus, which also features former Benfica João Félix, were deserved winners, since they were the most consistent team on the pitch throughout the season that has now come to an end.

"They fully deserved the triumph; there was a difficult spell, but after 20 consecutive wins, between the Champions League and the Saudi League, they showed a level of consistency well above average," Fabiano Flora began by saying in an interview with Record newspaper, as he discussed the Riyadh club’s recent achievement.

"They also had players of remarkable importance, who gave the team great balance. Such as Brozovic and Simakan in central defense," the coach pointed out, also speaking about the work done by Jorge Jesus, who at the end of the season did not reveal much about his future as a coach.

"I remember that at the start of the season, we talked about João Félix and I predicted that he would have a league campaign at the level of what he showed at the beginning of his career. That proved to be the case; he had an incredible season, very focused, and you could clearly see the quality João Félix really has. I am certain that this was a very important step in his career," he stressed, while highlighting Benfica’s former number 79.

"Honestly, I really believe in the partnership they had this year. They complement each other very well. On top of that, João Félix is in very good physical condition and I truly believe he will be one of the standout players in our national team. Those who did not believe much in João Félix may be surprised by the form he is in right now," Fabiano Flora praised.
