The former Real Madrid player spoke about the Portuguese forward

Former Real Madrid playmaker questioned whether Joao Felix should be at Atletico Madrid.

"Joao Felix is a fine player, but he's at the wrong club," Van der Vaart told Ziggo Sport.

"When they signed the Portuguese striker, I felt that [Diego] Simeone would try and embark on a different brand of playing, but that's far from the case.

"I understand that winning is important but when you have a talented forward like him, you need to cater to the style of play somewhat to suit his needs.

"Atletico Madrid play in a very compact manner with a heavy focus on defending well and attacking on the counter.

"Felix, I feel, is at the wrong club and working under the wrong coach."
