[Saba Sports News] Spanish media sources reveal that
Joao Felix intentionally selected the No. 14 jersey after joining Barcelona in
order to maintain a low profile. Despite receiving lucrative offers from other
clubs, Felix’s decision to join Barcelona was driven by his desire to find
happiness both on and off the field. While Felix is a popular figure, he
recognises the need to prove
himself before seeking any major spotlight or status. Although he had the
opportunity to wear the coveted No. 10 shirt following Ansu Fati’s departure,
Felix deliberately opted for No. 14. Understanding the significance and weight
associated with the No. 10 jersey, the Portuguese forward believed that
starting with a more modest number would allow him to have a quieter beginning
and stay away from excessive attention.
