French international Antoine Griezmann spoke about his newfound happiness and his current fulfillment with Atlético.
Since his return to Atlético Madrid, Antoine Griezmann has been enjoying it. In any case, this is what the international tricolor made known during an interview with the AS newspaper this Wednesday. The French striker, who made his comeback with the Colchoneros in August 2021 after a disappointing spell at FC Barcelona, reconsidered his choice to leave the Madrid club in 2019.
“During my first spell at Atlético, I didn’t realize how happy I was,” Griezmann said. “When you go somewhere else, you realize it. You are happy here, but you don’t realize it and you live day by day. When you leave and you go through a bad phase, you realize what it was like and you try to get back to that love. »
” I am happy “
The 2018 world champion explained that he made his decision to join Barça thinking it was the best thing for him, but ultimately realized that Atlético was the club he was at the happiest. “Now I wake up every morning and enjoy everything: going to practice, wearing this badge, being with my teammates, being with this coach… My family is also very happy here,” said he added.
The Mâconnais is currently in great form with Atlético. He has scored 16 goals in 24 matches this season and is on the verge of becoming the club’s all-time top scorer, ahead of Luis Aragones. “Is this the happiest moment of my career?” Yes,” he added. “I think right now I’m happy, but beyond that, I realize I’m happy. So you enjoy it more. »
