Atletico Madrid star received high praise from his youth coach
Benfica youth coach Joao Tralhao has hailed Atletico Madrid star Joao Felix as a potential Ballon d'Or winner.
Sequeira, the young Portuguese footballer who plays as a forward for Spanish La Liga club
Atlético Madrid, worked with
Tralhao
at Benfica before joining Atleti last season. The 21-year-old has scored seven goals and roled in three assists in ten competitive starts for Los Rojiblancos so far this season.
Records show only Mikel Oyarzabal has more scores than him, while he is at the same level as Villarreal’s Paco Alcacer and his Uruguayan teammate Luis Suarez.
Tralhao, who lighted on Felix at Benfica and had an essential role in shaping his development, is happy with his former compliment.
“
Joaois an elite player; there are very few players like Joao in the world; he stands apart." “In France, there is Mbappe, a player everyone knows is going to reach the top of world football. Mbappe will be a candidate for the Ballon d’Or.
“Here in Portugal we say that Joao Felix will also be in the fight – what’s more, I’m sure that one day Joao will win the
Ballon d’Or
. I have no doubts about it.”
