Diego Simeone, the coach of Atlético, is ready to make his contribution so that Antoine Griezmann finally has the Ballon d’Or.
Antoine Griezmann has been one of the best players in the world for over a decade. He rubbed shoulders with the summits, won the biggest trophies but never had the chance to lift the prestigious Ballon d’Or. The closest he got was finishing 3e (in 2018).
Simeone wants to reward Griezmann
A few days ago, Didier Deschamps, the French coach, indicated that “Grizou” does not have the recognition he deserves. In his eyes, his “favorite” would clearly have deserved to put his name alongside the greatest of this game.
An opinion also shared by Diego Simeone, the French striker’s club coach. And El Cholo believes that it is not too late to help the Mâconnais to win the greatest individual reward. “What needs to happen for Griezmann to win a Ballon d’Or? We have to win something important. He is extraordinary: he has something special, he works a lot and he likes to understand where the team needs his help.”
The Argentine coach is never short of praise when he talks about his French strategist. And like DD, he constantly praises his versatility. “He has extraordinary vitality and a unique understanding of the game, he continued. Little by little, he will occupy other places on the pitch, he will be able to do it when he no longer has the energy he has today. »
