Félix's brother: he must return quickly to Europe to achieve his dream of the "Champions League"
Hugo Félix, brother of Portuguese player João Félix, has expressed his desire for the Saudi Arabia star to return to European football as soon as possible, to compete in one of the major leagues and participate in the UEFA Champions League.
Hugo stated in an interview with the Portuguese newspaper 'A Bola' that he discussed his brother's future with him and advised him to return to Europe, while emphasizing the importance of maintaining the happiness and confidence he currently feels in Saudi Arabia, as they are essential factors for delivering his best performances.
He added that João needs to compete in a strong league and participate in the continental tournament, explaining that winning the UEFA Champions League represents an important dream that his brother is striving to achieve during his football career.
Hugo spoke about João's move to SL Benfica, explaining that his brother faced a tough time at FC Porto due to his slender physique and short stature at the time, along with not fitting into the club's plans, to the point that he even considered retiring from football.
He pointed out that João was performing well with FC Porto before the offer from SL Benfica arrived. His father thought about seizing the opportunity and including his son in the deal, which indeed happened, expressing his happiness with the way that phase ended.
Regarding his relationship with his brother, Hugo has confirmed that the distance between them makes being apart difficult, despite their near-daily communication about matches, injuries, and professional and personal details, noting that João Félix represents an important advisor for him both on and off the pitch.
Hugo revealed that his brother recently gave him advice on dealing with an ankle sprain, drawing on his experience in football. He also recalled his move to the SL Benfica academy in the Seixal area when he was twelve, confirming that having João Félix by his side made it easier for him to adapt to his new life.
He explained that the brothers lived in the training center for a year or two, and they met daily, while their father and mother used to visit them during the weekends. He added that having João Félix by his side made him feel at home and helped him cope with being away from his family.
