Mendelewitsch believes Felix has lost sight of his passion for football. He claims the player has become more focused on making money than enjoying the game. Mendelewitsch feels Felix should have taken control of his career earlier and made decisions that aligned with his own goals and values.

Mendelewitsch regrets seeing Felix's potential wasted. He thinks the player's situation serves as a cautionary tale for young footballers with talent. Felix's transfer to Atlético Madrid for €126m was followed by a move to Chelsea, where he reportedly didn't fit in. Mendelewitsch feels these decisions were misguided and ultimately led to Felix's current situation.
