When questioned about Felix’s meteoric rise with Atletico’s league rivals, Cerezo asserted that he had always known the forward was a top-tier player and that he was simply unlucky at Atletico.informationguidenigeria

Cerezo admitted that the €126 million (£108m/$137m) signing from Benfica did not yield the desired results for them after Felix scored just 34 times in 131 appearances but Cerezo insists he holds no ill-will towards the ace.

“It neither hurts me nor it doesn’t hurt me,” he said. “With us it didn’t work, he didn’t bring out everything he had inside. He went to Chelsea and he didn’t bring it out either. And now at Barcelona, he’s bringing it out. The great players always end up showing it.”JAMB Portal

In conclusion, when he was asked if he celebrated Felix’s goals, Cerezo said: “I only do it with Atletico de Madrid.”

Felix will be back in action against Mallorca on Tuesday evening, whereas Atletico will hope to win the bragging rights on Sunday with a win over cross-town rivals Real Madrid at Wanda Metropolitano.
