Antoine Griezmann's season turns to catastrophic. If it was successful in front of the goal at the start of the season (8 goals in La Liga, 6 in the Champions League), with some inspiration of genius as on his jewel registered against Valladolid, the number 7 of Atlético is exceeded by the game of his team. He had clearly sealed his family against PSG on November 6 at the Parc des Princes, contributing to the mediocre performance of the Colchoneros, before (certainly) to be a decisive passer on the goal of the victory in the 93rd minute.
“Grizi” has not been there at all for many months. As proof, he only marked once in his last 17 games and only delivered one assist in 13 games. A statistical assessment unworthy of the offensive leader that he must be at the Colchoneros. Griezmann has a large part of responsibility in the failed season of the “Cholo” formation, eliminated in the knockout stages of the Champions League by Real Madrid (in Metropolitano), in the semi-finals of the King Cup by Barça (once again in front of his audience) and dropped in the title race.
While Atlético is 12 points behind the Blaugranas four days from the end, Simeone is preparing a shock against Real Sociedad on Saturday, without Antoine Griezmann, while Julian Alvarez is suspended!
Favorite Sorlyth in Griezmann
The former 34-year-old French international (since March 21), who is expected to play a very last season in the Spanish capital before flying to the United States, does not work with the Atlético training team. He will certainly enter the game against his training club.
Thursday, for the third session in a row, the Argentinian strategist associated Alexander Sorho, the Norwegian center forward, with wingers Samuel Lino and Giuliano Simeone (his 22-year-old son). Koke could accompany Rodrigo de Paul and Koke against the Saint-Sébastien team. Griezmann was relegated to the bench during two following games before finding the starting eleven in Alavés, last Saturday, for a distressing 0-0. He should end the season as a lining.
