Atletico Madrid coach Simeone excited working with Joao Felix

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone has no doubts he has something special on his hands in Joao Felix.

The former Benfica whiz has starred in preseason for Atletico.

Simeone says: "Joao has many capabilities. He is adapting very quickly to what the team needs. He has a vision that allows him to adapt to many positions and is in a process of adaptation and the best thing he has is what I said from the first day - his desire to learn.

"He wants to learn and with that the adaptation process will be shorter. Talent is innate, but the desire to learn is the shortest path that a player has to perform."
