Revealed to the eyes of the world after an excellent season spent with SL Benfica, João Félix, in whom we saw a potential winner of the Ballon d’Or, today seems to be far from it. Yet, on the microphone of the Spanish podcast “Nude Project”the international Portuguese revealed that he still believes he has every chance of winning it in the years to come: “ I think I have the qualities for it. It’s the truth, I’m not going to lie. Afterwards, it is obvious that I still need to improve on certain things. I’m 24 years old, I think I have the ability to do it. Is this going to happen? It will depend on a lot of things, it may also not depend on me. You have to work and believe in it. »
Asked what he still lacks to become a serious candidate for this award, the 2019 Golden Boy answers bluntly: “ Many things. The team around me must be at the level and I must be able to help them. I need to be more decisive and win collective titles. A good team makes players better. But if you have a great season and collectively it doesn’t go well, then it’s useless. You have to be well supervised, and that is the case at Barça. »
