He began the new season with a full go-around of helps at Getafe, and he is expecting an influential position in the wake of battling for structure and wellness at different focuses over the beyond three seasons.
João is as yet the most-costly player in Atlético's set of experiences, and it appears to be he's near understanding the potential that captivated Atleti to leave behind €127 a long time back.
"(João) looks increasingly adult, more grounded. He showed it in the 14 finals last season until (his season finished) because of injury," Simeone said. "He is developing, showing development, assuming on liability. He sees more than different players ... Things fall into place easily for him, and he has endeavored to arrive at this point."
