Fortunately, the Atlético de Diego Simeone can count on a flamboyant Julian Alvarez. For his first season with the Colchoneros, the Argentinian striker is now at 26 achievements after the 4-2 victory in the lair of the Madrid club on Monday evening against Valladolid, the Liga Red Lantern. The 2022 world champion is now responsible for the penalties to the detriment of Antoine Griezmann and converted two against the Pucela, Giuliano Simeone and Alexander Sorho being the other two scorers.
“The spider” Alvarez did better than “Grizi”, who had finished his first year at Atléti with 25 achievements in 2014-2015. The player recruited at Man City can exceed Christian Vieri (29 goals in 1997-1998) or even Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink (35 goals in 2011-2012) and Radamel Falcao (36 goals in 2011-2012). The “Cholo” training still has seven championship matches but also the Club World Cup then in the United States, with a first round against PSG, the Seattle Sounders and Botafogo.
Griezmann was replaced in the 59th minute by Sorloth after yet another disappointing performance. This is a real problem when Atlético tries to stay in the retro of Barça, always seven points ahead. The former star player of the French team is now nine matches without being decisive! He only scored a goal in the last 15 Liga matches, as the X ATLETI Francia account recalls. The statistic is frightening, but the worst is that the 34 -year -old left -hander (he celebrated them on March 21) is “Nonexistent in the game”as the Fan account regrets.
Griezmann “No longer looks happy”
During the first part of the season, Griezmann managed to save his insipid performances by inspirations of which he has the secret, on the pass or the finish, with this precisely magnificent goal against Valladolid, on November 30. The native of Mâcon is eight goals in the league and scored six times in the Champions League, but he has been disconnected from the rest of his team for months. His cataclysmic performance against PSG (even if he is a decisive passer at the last minute) dates back to November 6. He had destroyed all the Colchoneros offensives, copiously dominated (there were 22 Parisian shots).
The followers of the Atleti France account are quite unanimous about their compatriot top scorer in the history of Atlético. Griezmann is “Unrecognizable” And “No longer looks happy”. For another twitto, “His adventure in Europe is unfortunately over”. With such a level of play, Griezmann will indeed find it very difficult to bring offensively if it remains next season, even by taking on a new role of Joker for his last months in Spain before his
American Dream. Griezmann has still not decided to stay until 2026 or free himself from his contract to sign in MLS.
