João Félix: We Adjusted Some Details, and Things Improved

Portugal forward João Félix delivered a strong performance in the 5-0 victory over Uzbekistan at the World Cup. This marked the first win for the "Navigators" after their opening draw against DR Congo. Félix stated that the team had adjusted some details, and things subsequently clicked into place.

“I believe we utilized the open spaces much better compared to the last match. We played a lot down the flanks, which is where the danger originated. We were able to attack both through the center and down the wings, creating chances in both ways. Our attitude was never lacking. We just needed to fine-tune some tactical details, and things improved,” Félix commented.

He downplayed the significance of the draw against DR Congo in their opening fixture.

“Yes. In my opinion, a draw in the first match of a World Cup means nothing. Argentina lost their first game in 2022 and then went on to win the title. It wasn't an easy match against Congo, who have players in major leagues. The team handled the situation well, and one poor result doesn't affect the players, as was evident today,” the forward added.

He was then asked if he was looking ahead to the final, but his response was that they were taking it one game at a time.

“We're taking it match by match. That's everyone's dream. Right now, we're focused on Colombia, but everyone's dream is to win the World Cup,” Félix concluded.
