Chelsea’s Portuguese contingent wasn’t heavily involved in Portugal’s 0-0 draw against Scotland in the Nations League. Joao Felix was the only player to make an appearance, coming off the bench in the 88th minute in an effort to help Portugal find a late winner.
Renato Veiga Shines, Pedro Neto Absent
While Felix had limited time on the pitch, Renato Veiga had already impressed during Portugal’s first match of the international break, with glowing reviews from the Portuguese media. Veiga has been hailed as a star for the future. Meanwhile, Pedro Neto was notably absent from the squad, leaving Chelsea fans hoping that his absence wasn’t due to an injury, especially since this would be his first issue since joining the club.
Felix’s Late Cameo for Portugal
Joao Felix’s introduction late in the game was met with some frustration. According to A Bola, fans and pundits alike were disappointed that Felix was brought on so late, with some feeling that Trincao should have been given the chance instead. Still, they acknowledged Felix’s attempt to make an immediate impact out wide, even though he didn’t have much time to show his talent.
Waiting for a Chelsea Breakthrough
Felix has been waiting for his opportunity to shine at Chelsea this season, as Cole Palmer has been excelling in a similar role. So far, Felix has yet to start a Premier League match, but he’s expected to feature in cup competitions. With Chelsea’s busy schedule, including a European fixture next Thursday, Felix should have chances to make his mark. For now, it seems likely that he’ll continue to be an option off the bench, especially in crucial matches like Chelsea’s upcoming clash with league-leaders Liverpool at Anfield.
Chelsea fans will be eager to see what Felix can deliver once he gets more playing time.
