It has now been six games that Antoine Griezmann was no longer decisive. A bad series that the French striker will try to stop Wednesday evening against FC Barcelona, in the semi-final return of the King's Cup. This is what Diego Simeone expects from him. Before this second round against the Blaugranas, Atlético Madrid coach kindly put pressure on “Grizi”, scorer in the first leg (4-4), played in Catalonia on February 25.
“I think everyone is going through difficult periods during the season. There are better periods and others less good. We are used to so much creativity, so much talent, so many goals … When it does not come, it has to come back. I hope and I want it to happen tomorrow (Wednesday) ”said the Argentinian technician at a press conference. The former three-color international (34 years old) will therefore be expected at the turn of the Metropolitano.
