Félix Correia: “I want to do great things with Sevilla”

Félix Correia has sat down with Sevilla’s official media for his first interview after joining the club last Monday. The Portuguese winger showed strong excitement and a desire to hit the ground running: “Happy, with lots of desire to play and train… very pleased to be here.”

According to MARCA, Correia said he’s been training with his teammates and that Luis García Plaza has wished him luck so he can do well. He also believes he’s ready to feature in the away match this coming Sunday against Espanyol: “I’m prepared to be able to play on Sunday… I want to do great things with this club.”

Getting started in Nervión

While he’s not had the chance to experience the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán atmosphere in person yet, he says he’s only seen it on TV and expects to feel it himself “in two weeks.” His pitch to the fans is clear: backing the team, fighting every time, and taking things “step by step for every three points.”

His role and inspirations

The 25-year-old described his qualities as an intelligent player who battles for the ball and never gives up: “I’m a smart player… I go hard into duels… and I never surrender.” He also said he prefers playing on the left, although he can operate “behind the striker” too.

On what he likes to watch and who he models himself after, Correia named current inspiration Dembélé and, from earlier generations, Robinho, Róbaldinho, Zidane, Neymar—and especially Messi, calling him his main idol. MARCA notes that he worked with Cristiano Ronaldo at Juventus and says he learned a lot from him.
