Felix anaitaji kuongeza juhudi

The teenage sensation got his first taste of Spanish football on Sunday and must keep getting better, according to his manager.

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone said Joao Felix has to keep improving following his La Liga bow against Getafe.

Felix had his first taste of Spanish top-flight football as Atletico opened their La Liga campaign with a 1-0 victory thanks to Alvaro Morata's 23rd-minute header at home to Getafe on Sunday.

A club-record €126 million signing from Benfica Felix was largely subdued by Getafe, but the 19-year-old did produce a stunning solo run from inside his own half to earn a second-half penalty, which Morata failed to convert.

"The first league game is not easy. It's complex," Simeone said. 

"A rival who tactically moves well defensively. They have not left him space in the first half so that he can take advantage of his game.

"But in an individual action showed his power and hopefully these situations appear with more continuity. He has to keep improving."
