Pointed out by his coach Diego Simeone, Antoine Griezmann will be expected at the turn in Atlético’s next matches.
Atlético de Madrid did not miss their La Liga debut. The Colchoneros signed a comfortable success against Granada (3-1). A satisfactory result which notably bears the signature of Memphis Depay, author of a sublime goal with a powerful strike at mid-distance.
Unlike the Dutchman, Antoine Griezmann did not weigh on the meeting. In very good shape during the second part of last season, the 2018 world champion should gain momentum during this new exercise, after recovering his legendary number 7. If he has often been praised by Diego Simeone, the Mâconnais is not always spared by the demanding Argentinean technician.
“Griezmann didn’t play a great game”
After the match, the Atlético coach did not hesitate to sting several attacking players, including his playmaker. Clearly both surfaces are the ones that matterdid he declare. We have footballers who can do it well. Álvaro did well, Memphis scored a great goal, Correa started well, Griezmann didn’t have a great game, but we need him in the best possible way. »
Simeone was no kinder to Alvaro Morata. “We expect him (Morata, editor’s note) to score as many goals as possible. We have high hopes for him and Memphis. Correa, Griezmann, who maybe needs to improve, Carrasco… These are the areas that define everything and give you strength. »
