João Félix assures that he is "more confident than ever" and admits that he makes "a good pair" with Ronaldo

João Félix, a 26-year-old Portuguese forward, expressed confidence ahead of the 2026 World Cup, stating he feels 'more confident than ever' after having 'an incredible year' playing for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, where he scored 26 goals and provided 18 assists in 47 games. He emphasized his readiness to contribute to Portugal's national team, noting that his experience playing as a number 10 in Saudi Arabia has prepared him well. Félix acknowledged the challenges of failing to score during the Euro 2024 penalty shootout against France, which led to Portugal's elimination, but viewed it as a learning experience rather than a failure. He also highlighted his positive relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo, whom he played alongside at Al Nassr, saying they form a good partnership due to their mutual understanding and familiarity. Despite not scoring in Portugal's recent matches against Uzbekistan and Colombia, Félix remains unfazed, joking that he would still sign under the team if they won the World Cup without him scoring.
