After Portugal disaster, Quaresma to João Félix: Tell the manager... | OneFootball

João Félix took part in a LiveModeTV broadcast, with Ricardo Quaresma also present. During the conversation, the former Portugal international analysed the current state of the national team and took the opportunity to send a message to Roberto Martínez.

After hearing the Portuguese forward’s analysis of the draw against the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Quaresma expressed confidence in the team, but argued that João Félix should be used more regularly in Roberto Martínez’s side.

“We ended up drawing, and now we have two matches to sort it out. I still believe in you, without a shadow of a doubt. Tell your coach to play you more often. And let’s see if we come into the next game differently and win,” said the former Portugal winger.

In the same appearance, João Félix sounded confident about a positive response in the very next match against Uzbekistan, pointing out some aspects that, in his view, affected Portugal’s performance against the African side.

The Al Nassr forward felt that Portugal started the match well, but lost intensity after taking the lead: “I think we started well. In the first three minutes, DR Congo didn’t even touch the ball. We started well, pressing them, with the ball in their half. We scored and from then on we slowed down a bit,” he began by explaining.
