João Félix (25) hat erst vor wenigen Tagen den FC Chelsea verlassen, wechselte nach Saudi-Arabien zu Al-Nassr. Jetzt steht der Portugiese in der Kritik – allerdings nicht wegen des Transfers.
Sein ehemaliger Atlético-Madrid-Teamkollege Saúl Niguez (30/heute Flamengo Rio de Janeiro) gegenüber „COPE“: „João hat das Zeug zu einem unglaublichen Spieler. Aber egal, wie gut man ist, wenn man nicht hart arbeitet, ist man wertlos. Ich habe versucht, ihm in vielen Dingen zu helfen.“ Worin genau, präzisierte er nicht.
[–>Fest steht aber: Der Spanier und Félix standen zwischen August 2019 und November 2022 insgesamt 72 Mal zusammen für Atlético Madrid auf dem Platz. Kurz danach, im Januar 2023, ließ sich Felix in die Premier League zum FC Chelsea verleihen. Im August 2024 zahlten die Engländer dann 52 Mio. Euro, um Félix zu verpflichten. Im Winter verliehen sie ihn nach Italien zur AC Mailand, jetzt wechselte er für eine Ablöse in Höhe von 30 Mio. Euro zu Al-Nassr und Portugal-Kollege Cristiano Ronaldo (40).
Joao Felix: Marktwert mit Achterbahnfahrt
Während Félix zu Beginn seiner Karriere einen steilen Aufstieg hinlegte und zwischen Februar 2018 und September 2019 seinen Marktwert von gerade einmal einer Mio. Euro auf 100 (!) Mio. Euro steigerte (Quelle:transfermarkt.de), ging es danach bergab. Inzwischen liegt sein Marktwert nur noch bei 20 Mio. Euro.

Vor allem für seine Unbeständigkeit wurde Félix schon mehrmals kritisiert. Der italienische Journalist Fabio Ravezzani: „João Felix ist ebenso gutaussehend wie nutzlos.“ Und der Journalist und Fernsehexperte Fabrizio Biasin: „Seine Karriere zeigt, dass er inkonsistent ist. Dass er ein nützlicher Spieler sein kann, wenn er kommt und seinen Beitrag leistet, stimmt meiner Meinung nach auch. Das Problem ist, dass er falsch eingesetzt wird.“
Ob seine Karriere jetzt im Sand verläuft?

Early 2026 Fantasy Baseball Rankings: Top 20 at first base shows where Rafael Devers lands at his new position
1 Drafted fourth overall in 2024, Kurtz stormed through the minors in just 33 games and then went on to deliver an all-time great rookie season -- one that included a four-homer game that may rate as the best of its kind. His rise to stardom came so easily that he might seem like the obvious choice to go No. 1 at first base, but a bloated strikeout rate makes for a too-good-to-be-true quality that will give some drafters pause.2 Guerrero just delivered what was pretty clearly the third-best season of his career, and while it made for a great batting average, the home run and RBI production didn't measure up to those of a top draft pick, particularly at this position. It continues the trend of Guerrero never quite living up to our hopes for him, apart from that […]
Early 2026 Fantasy Baseball Rankings: Top 20 at third base shows Isaac Paredes, Max Muncy gaining ground
1 During a year when so many of the standard bearers at third base removed themselves from early-round consideration, Ramirez remained as studly as ever, opening up about as big of a lead as he's ever had at the position. If only he wasn't 33. 2 Caminero's first full season vaulted him into an elite group of sluggers, one of just three to hit 40-plus homers in his age-21 season. His batting average was about 100 points lower on the road than at the minor league ballpark the Rays called home, which raises some uncertainty with the team expected back at Tropicana Field next year. 3 Chisholm stands out all the more at second base, a position with even fewer early round-caliber bats, so if you're looking to target him as a rare power/speed threat at a position long devoid […]
Phillies-Dodgers NLDS: What we’re watching in the series, starting with Cristopher Sánchez
PHILADELPHIA — The man who was supposed to be starting Game 1 of the National League Division Series for the Phillies approached Cristopher Sánchez with a question during Thursday’s optional workout, which was attended by almost the entire roster.“Are you ready?” Zack Wheeler asked Sánchez.“Of course I am,” Sánchez said.AdvertisementTo Sánchez, there is something about this place. Nothing is guaranteed. But, since the beginning of the 2024 season, the Phillies have won 27 of the 33 times he’s started at Citizens Bank Park. There is a photo of Sánchez that lines the hallway from the clubhouse to the dugout, and he touches it before every start. He wants to feel the bones of this ballpark.“Knowing every inch of this stadium, I think those are extra motivations,” Sánchez said through team interpreter Diego D’Aniello. “Just the support that you get when […]
Aaron Boone fires back at Jays broadcaster who said Yankees ‘are not a good team’
TORONTO — Aaron Boone likely doesn’t watch many Toronto Blue Jays broadcasts. He’s usually busy managing the New York Yankees when they air. But Boone clearly heard what Toronto broadcaster Buck Martinez said about the Yankees last month. Ahead of an American League Division Series against the Blue Jays, Boone fired back.Advertisement“Contrary to some thoughts up here,” Boone said. “We’re a really good team.”The comment was clearly directed at Martinez’s comments on a Sept. 9 Sportsnet broadcast. Amid a Blue Jays contest against the Astros, the former Jays manager and long-time big-league catcher said the Yankees are “not a good team.”“I don’t care what their record is,” Martinez continued. “They have a lot of wild pitches. They make a lot of mistakes in the field.” "The Yankees, they're not a good team. I don't care what their record is. They […]
College football Week 6 betting notes: Expert finds betting value by analyzing spread trends
Throughout the years, I've been often surprised by how many handicappers attack the weekly slate of games looking for all sorts of angles and trends, many of them statistically-based, as they seek clues for the upcoming card. That's fine, but it should probably be accompanied by a simple measurable that can prove most beneficial to handicapping the upcoming slate of games, yet often overlooked. I have long believed that before tackling the weekly slate, a quick review of how teams are performing vs. the spread, specifically an easy-to-use list of current spread streaks, win and lose, should be the first step in scoping the weekly card. Why? Identifying just a handful of streaking point spread teams, win or loss, early in their ascents or descents, can often make the difference between a winning and losing season for the handicapper. There's nothing better […]
