Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone has no doubts he has something special on his hands in Joao Felix.

The former Benfica whiz has starred in preseason for Atletico.

Simeone says: "Joao has many capabilities. He is adapting very quickly to what the team needs. He has a vision that allows him to adapt to many positions and is in a process of adaptation and the best thing he has is what I said from the first day - his desire to learn.

"He wants to learn and with that the adaptation process will be shorter. Talent is innate, but the desire to learn is the shortest path that a player has to perform."
