Joao Félix Exposes ‘Cholismo’: A Versatile Performance in Barcelona’s Victory

Joao Félix debunked the notion that he shies away from hard work, showcasing a dedicated and industrious side on the field. His performance against Getafe demonstrated a willingness to contribute beyond his attacking prowess, challenging the reputation that preceded him during his time at Atlético Madrid. Whether it’s finding his ideal team in Barcelona or receiving the confidence from the club and coaching staff, Joao Félix’s transformation is evident.

Having missed the last four league matches due to an ankle injury, Joao Félix returned to prominence in the match against Getafe. His industrious efforts were evident as he ran, pressed, and was duly rewarded with a goal.

Scoring his fifth goal in La Liga, Joao Félix continues to prove his importance with every goal. From opening the scoring against Betis to crucial contributions against Villarreal and Valencia, he even secured three points against his former team, Atlético Madrid. Against Getafe, he positioned himself well to convert Christensen’s assist, securing the second goal for a comfortable lead.

Joao Félix’s attitude on the field contrasted with the ‘cholismo’ philosophy and silenced critics from his time at Atlético Madrid. When comfortable and confident, he gives his all for the team. While his performances may vary, he consistently adds value to this Barcelona side.

His recovery from injury is excellent news as Barcelona continues to compete for La Liga and seeks to advance past the Champions League Round of 16, following the draw in the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.
