Joao Felix recently shared his thoughts on his connection with Chelsea teammate Christopher Nkunku, emphasizing how well they work together on the field. Despite his return to Chelsea from Atletico Madrid in a significant deal, Felix has not started a Premier League game yet, with most of his minutes coming in cup competitions. This has led to former player Pat Nevin questioning the decision to leave Felix on the bench during the recent game against Liverpool.
As Felix prepares to start against Panathinaikos, he is eager to showcase his skills and prove that he deserves more playing time in the league. The upcoming match is likely to see Felix and Nkunku combine their talents once again. Felix expressed his admiration for Nkunku, highlighting the ease with which they play together due to their similar understanding of the game.
Nkunku, who has been Chelsea’s top scorer this season, has also had limited playing time in the league, mainly featuring in cup competitions. Both players will be looking to make an impact in the upcoming game and demonstrate their potential to contribute significantly to the team.
Despite the slow start to the season for Felix at Chelsea, the upcoming match provides an opportunity for him to shine and show his capabilities on the field. A strong performance on Thursday night could be the turning point for Felix, allowing him to establish himself as a key player for Chelsea. Fans are eagerly anticipating the duo of Felix and Nkunku showcasing their chemistry and skills in the upcoming game.
