The Spanish side spent plenty of money betting

"Ive been pleased with all the new signings and the path we are going on during this pre-season," Simeone said..Marcos Llorente, signed from city rivals Real this summer for USD 42 million, had put the Spanish side ahead in the first half before 19-year-old, USD 134 million striker Felix scored a brilliant second to decide a match that failed to spark into action, a swathe of changes on both teams contributing to a decidedly low-tempo affair.It was one of the substitutes, Diego mole mesh Rossi, who almost equalized when his close-range effort hit the side netting before Nicolas Lodeiro was denied by Atleti keeper Antonio Adan.Atletico created the first real opportunity, Rodrigo Riquelme firing high and wide on 17 minutes following good work from Vitolo, while Rooney saw a brilliantly struck effort from 30 yards whistled just over the bar. "Everyone is spending a lot of money. he looks like he has good technique," Rooney told AFP.Orlando: Portuguese teen sensation Joao Felix came off the bench to score a superb goal Wednesday as Atletico Madrid blanked the Major League Soccer All-Stars 3-0 at rain-soaked Exploria Stadium.Atleticos opening goal on 43 minutes was a superb team effort, Riquelme brilliantly back flicking the ball to Llorente, who drove the ball past Philadelphia Union goalkeeper Andre Blake."Madrid manager Diego Simeone refused to single out any of his new players, including Felix. Los Angeles Galaxy star Zlatan Ibrahimovich was withdrawn after just 30 minutes and despite Wayne Rooneys best efforts in the first half, it was the La Liga side that was far superior.Ibrahimovich, who had barely touched the ball, was withdrawn on 30 minutes, much to the disappointment of the 25,527 spectators who hoped to see the mercurial Swedish superstar in the action.."The Spanish side spent plenty of money betting Rooney is right.Costa made it three at the death from close range. "Im sure he will be a good player for Atletico in the near future."I havent seen too much of Joao Felix but."I remember a few years ago, Zinedine Zidane went for over USD 60 million and everyone was saying Whats going on? But thats the price you have to pay now.James OConnor, the Orlando City coach in charge of the All-Stars, completely changed his team at half-time, including withdrawing Rooney and Nani.Inclement weather in the Orlando area delayed kickoff before a sellout crowd for 40 minutes but the rain failed to dampen an excellent atmosphere for the North American leagues annual exhibition match.On 55 minutes, Simeone shuffled his pack by making seven changes of his own including introducing Felix, who was signed from Benfica this summer, and his superb long-range effort in the 84th minute sealed a comprehensive victory..The MLS All-Stars, captained by leading scorer Carlos Vela of LAFC, boasted the likes of DC Uniteds Rooney, Ibrahimovich and home favourite Nani in their starting line-up."Of course its a big price to pay for such a young player but thats the way the market is going now," Rooney told AFP.Rooney, the former Manchester United and England forward, was operating in a deep-lying midfield role and saw plenty of the ball in the opening stages without being able to penetrate the Spanish teams defence.Diego Costas late third was no more than the visitors deserved.
