The Portuguese striker has so far been the author of an unexciting interlude in the Rossoneri: here’s what can happen now
Clamoroso Joao Felix: la decisione sorprende tutti (LaPresse) – MilanLive.it
João Félix was one of the big hits of the January soccer market. The anticipation to see the Portuguese talent at work was really high, and on his debut in the match against Roma he showed up as best he could.
Outstanding plays – so much so that many have discomfited Ricardo Kaka – and a high school goal. Then, however, darkness. Sergio Conceicao, who pushed harder than anyone else to have him on the roster, immediately gave him confidence: the former Chelsea man thus always played from the first minute, with less than thrilling results. There have been few, in fact, the times he has come close to sufficiency, but in most games he has failed.
So did Conceicao later, who decided to leave him out against both Lecce and Como. His entrance in Salento, however, proved decisive albeit with a deflected ball, which then slotted into the goal, sparking the Rossoneri’s comeback, due to an unfortunate touch by Gallo. The Portuguese coach thus seems to have found his balance, with Rafa Leao, Reijnders and Pulisic behind Santi Gimenez.

Against Napoli, however, the four offensive players are unlikely to be seen lined up together. Sergio Conceicao also plans to make changes ahead of next Wednesday’s Coppa Italia semifinal first leg against Inter Milan. The Portuguese has a chance to dose forces and will try to do so to try to win both games.
Thus, as has been widely rumored in recent hours, Santiago Gimenez, who has been experiencing some minor problems in the national team, is set to start from the bench, although he is fully recovered. Thus, room for Tammy Abraham, who has been decisive in recent challenges, coming in from the bench.
But the Englishman may not be the only new addition. Indeed, the odds are rising for Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who may take the place of one of the three midfielders, but the biggest surprise may be João Félix. It is clear that Sergio Conceicao has not stopped believing in his compatriot and against Napoli he could start from the first minute, taking the place of another Portuguese, Rafa Leao, to keep him warm for the derby.
