Most people criticized Joao for his comments about Atletico but he was right. It’s way easier to perform in a possesion side than in a defensive side

When you only touch the ball 5-10 times per game it’s harder to perform that if you touch it 45-50 times per game. Joao wasn’t lying when he said most players would prefer to touch the ball 50 times than 10 times.

Just compare today’s game between Barca and Atletico. Just compare how much touches did Joao had in comparison to Griezzman and you would see how Joao actually had a point.

    I mean Joao was a miss however you can’t deny that Falcao, Costa, Suarez and Griezmann had a good run in Atletico. In the other hand playing counter attack with plenty of space to run is something a lot of strikes prefer over dribbling three or four players out of their way.

    I think Joao fits better under Barca. However he is still inconsistent.
