Simeone: The best thing about Joao Felix is his desire to learn LaLiga Happy with the new signing

Joao Felix impressed yet again for Atletico Madrid on Saturday evening as they saw off Juventus and Diego Simeone was left understandably delighted by his Portuguese sensation.

The Atletico newcomer netted twice in excellent fashion, adding to his summer tally, but El Cholo is happiest with the No.7's hunger to learn.

"He played a very good game, he's very capable and is adapting very fast," Simeone said afterwards.

"Wherever you put him, he sees the game well.

"The best thing about him is that he wants to lear and when this is the case, adaptation is always shorter."

Arriving as a frontman but operating a lot on the wing, it remains to be seen what his main role in the team will be going forward.

"He'll play as much as he deserves," the coach added when asked about precisely what role he would have.

"He's working very well to not look his age, and what happens on the pitch shows."

Continuing in his glowing praise of his teenage talent, Simeone again reiterated how impressive his quest for new knowledge is.

"The desire to learn he has [is the most amazing thing]," Simeone explained.

"That's his strength. His talent is innate, but that desire makes everything easier."
