Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone says Joao Felix must be patient at this stage in his career.
The Portuguese superkid has had an inconsistent first season in Spain, but Simeone insists that is to be expected from the €120m arrival.
He explained, "We focus on Joao Felix , but there are a lot more cases, like Lodi, who is young, out there he has extraordinary games but in others he does not hold that balance.
"It is normal because they are young. We are going to give them peace of mind, Joao has talent, he has quality ... He has to be patient, not disengage. That anger that he has for what he wants to show, for his qualities, sometimes costs him.
"That will give him maturation, balance, making himself available to learn, because very few at 20 are absolute stars. What talent does he have? Obviously, we all see that. He is humble, educated, respectful, hardworking ... so give him time."
