If Antoine Griezmann landed in Los Angeles at the start of the week, it was not to get involved with Los Angeles FC, but to play the Club World Cup with Atletico Madrid. While he seemed determined to discover the MLS, the tricolor world champion gave his desires from America to later.
The Mâconnais finally decided to extend its lease with the Colchoneros. It is therefore now linked to the Madrid club until 2027 and will therefore have the opportunity to enter the legend of Atletico, of which he is already the top scorer.
However, according to Frédéric Hermel, Antoine Griezmann will see his status evolving within the Madrid workforce. He who was an indisputable holder until the past last months may indeed have to be satisfied with a luxury joker role, as was the case during the spring.
Antoine Griezmann reduced to a joker role
“It no longer has its place in the eleven. He will be Joker behind Julian Alvarez and Alexander Sorho, He thus entrusted to the microphone of RMC. It means that he will play lots of matches as a holder but I am not sure that in matches against Barça, Real or a quarter of the Champions League, Antoine Griezmann is the first choice in front. »»
“That he can enter at one point, yes, it is a certainty, because he remains an exceptional player and especially with an exceptional football IQ and an ability to manage the pace and weigh on the end of matches”, he continued, adding:
“But given the level displayed by Alexander Sorho or Julian Alvarez, I do not see how Antoine Griezmann can claim a place of holder. »»
