Chelsea football star, Joao Felix has revealed how to pronounce his name properly.
The Portuguese star who moved to Stamford Bridge in January on loan from Atletico Madrid, gave the correction during a press conference.
Speaking ahead of Chelsea’s crucial meeting with Dortmund at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night after a 1-0 defeat in the first leg, Felix was asked by a journalist how to correctly say his name.
Many English and Spanish fans incorrectly pronounce his name ‘Jow Fee-lix’ but the star revealed that it’s actually “Je-wow Feh-lix”.
“Everyone says ‘Fee-lix’, even in Spain, just in Portugal they say my correct name. I don’t know why, I don’t think it’s too hard,” Felix said.
When asked if the mispronunciation annoys him, Felix said: “Nah! I don’t care.”
Felix became the fourth most expensive footballer of all time when Atletico Madrid signed him from Benfica for £113m in 2019, but the youngster struggled for consistent form in the Spanish capital.
He had a rocky relationship with fiery Atletico manager Diego Simeone and so it was decided it would suit all parties if he went out on loan.

The 38-year-old defender who has become a key player in the team since arriving at Stamford Bridge in 2020, has shown himself to be evergreen and has arguably been the Blues’ most consistent performer throughout the tenures of both Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter.

Speaking to Chelsea’s website after signing the new contract, Silva said:
“I am honestly so happy to continue my career with the Blues.
“When I signed my first contract here, it was to just do one year. Now it is already the fourth! I could not have imagined that, but really it is a very special moment for me to sign and stay at Chelsea.”

Graham Potter, who was handed a war chest worth over £300 million ($362 million) in his first full transfer window as Chelsea manager, has stated that he expects to be fired by the club’s owners if results do not improve soon.

Speaking ahead of a match with West Ham this afternoon, Potter said;
“My relationship has been consistent with [the owners]. We understand where we both are, where we see the team. We are working really well to keep improving.
“The expectations have always remained the same, a team that ultimately wins. We know there is opportunities to make changes to the team when the window is open. I’m not stupid. If the results aren’t what this club should get, then I understand, if I’m the reason for it then that’s the job.”

Gabonese footballer, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was seen in Milan, Italy, on Friday night as he was seemingly in no mood to stay in London for the Premier League match between Chelsea and Fulham after finding out he was kicked out of the Blues’ Champions League squad.

Earlier in the day, it was discovered that his name was omitted from Chelsea’s Champions League squad for their upcoming last-16 tie against Borussia Dortmund.

Chelsea’s coach, Graham Potter added January signings Enzo Fernandez, Mykhailo Mudryk, and Joao Felix to the team, while new arrivals Benoit Badiashile, David Datro Fofana, and Noni Madueke didn’t make the cut.
While Aubameyang’s Chelsea teammates played against Fulham in a match that ended 0-0, he was spotted in Milan with his family, going by an image his brother posted to Instagram.

It is also unlikely that the 33-year-old footballer will get back in the team for their next fixture against West Ham on February 11.
Chelsea will return to European action on February 15 when they travel to Germany to face Borussia Dortmund. The London team finished top of Group E with 13 points, ahead of AC Milan, Red Bull Salzburg, and Dinamo Zagreb.

Havertz, who is yet to set the Premier League alight since his September 2020 arrival, is being linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge. The German was signed from Bayer Leverkusen for a record transfer fee of £71 million.

With Chelsea looking to raise funds through outgoing transfers to balance their books after a recent spending spree, there is talk that the Blues could offload Havertz for €60m this summer.
Sky Germany reported that while Bayern Munich has been ruled out as a potential destination, other clubs are ready to enter the race for the 23-year-old, including the likes of PSG, and Juventus.

Mykhailo Mudryk, the new Chelsea signing, appears to have a petty side, as he took to social media to re-share a chant from the club’s supporters mocking league leaders Arsenal for failing to sign him.

For the overwhelming majority of the January window, Mudryk seemed destined to join Arsenal for a fee of around £80million but the Gunners pursuit of the 22-year-old was hijacked by their London rivals.
Chelsea pipped the Gunners to the signing and in turn, forced Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta to resort to his plan B signing in former Brighton star Leandro Trossard for a drastically cheaper price of £27m.

Mudryk was brought in during the match against Liverpool and he impressed in the 35 minutes he played in the match which ended 0-0.
During the match, Chelsea fans sang a chant that goes this way: “He flew in from Ukraine, on Boehly’s private plane, Mudryk said to me: ‘Have Arsenal won the Champions League?’. So I told him no, you know the place to go, then he said to me, I want to lift number three.”
Mudryk who seems to be happy with the chant, re-shared a fan page video of supporters singing it on his Instagram story.
