President Joan Laporta “cannot tolerate criticism” of star signing Joao Felix as Barcelona becomes frustrated with the player.
Barcelona’s patience with Joao Felix appears to be wearing thin, as doubts grow internally about the Portuguese player’s commitment and performance. President Joan Laporta, however, remains a staunch supporter of Felix, despite concerns from those in charge of the club’s finances. The coaching staff also have their doubts, and it remains to be seen how long they will continue to support Felix in the starting lineup. With Xavi Hernandez also showing signs of reluctance towards Felix’s inclusion, the future of the player at Barcelona remains uncertain.
Barcelona’s Patience Wearing Thin with Joao Felix
Barcelona’s patience with Joao Felix appears to be wearing thin, with doubts growing internally about the Portuguese forward. President Joan Laporta, however, remains a firm backer of Felix, despite growing concerns about his performances. The club’s financial difficulties also make a permanent signing of Felix next summer seem “suicidal” according to those in charge of the money at Barcelona. The coaching staff have their doubts about Felix’s place in the line-up, and it remains to be seen how long he will continue to feature in the starting eleven. Xavi Hernandez, who was not keen on Felix’s arrival, may soon have to make a tough decision about the forward’s place in the team if performances and effort levels do not improve.
