Joao Felix has called on Portugal fans to remain calm ahead of Thursday's World Cup clash with Croatia.
On Monday, Felix expressed confidence that Portugal will beat Croatia.
What happened?
Portugal finished second in Group K after a goalless draw with Colombia on Saturday.
They had previously thrashed Uzbekistan 5-0.
Why it matters for Joao Felix
Felix anticipates a tight game against Croatia and is willing to take a spot-kick if it goes to penalties.
He hit the post during a penalty loss to France in the quarterfinals of Euro 2024.
What comes next?
Felix has entered his second World Cup with renewed confidence after a successful season in Saudi Arabia.
He helped Al Nassr win the league title and was named the Saudi Pro League's player of the season.
At Al Nassr, Felix played alongside Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo in attack.
Ronaldo scored twice against Uzbekistan to become the first player to score in six World Cups.
Felix feels just as prepared as his Portugal teammates despite playing in the Saudi Pro League.
He said the league is competitive and he didn't feel any difference in intensity compared to his teammates and opponents.
Felix is coming into the World Cup with confidence after a disappointing spell at Chelsea and AC Milan.
He feels more mature and is ready to help the team.
Portugal coach has defended Cristiano Ronaldo's needs, saying it's childish to compare them to Messi's.
Ronaldo's form will be crucial for Portugal's World Cup chances, but Felix is confident they can beat Croatia.
Felix has been playing with Ronaldo for a year and knows what he needs and likes.
He thinks they make a good duo and Ronaldo is an asset wherever he plays.
The World Cup clash between Portugal and Croatia is scheduled for Thursday.
Felix is confident that Portugal will come out on top, and he's ready to do his part to help the team win.
