Team refers to multiple people, it is a singular noun. Even though there are some exceptions to this rule, collective nouns, like team, company, or group take a singular verb, so we use feels instead of feel. Other examples:
The company values its employees. - Notice the singular verb values is used because company is a singular noun.
The group decides where to meet. - Notice the singular verb decides is used because group is a singular noun.
