Griezmann, the sanction falls

At 33, Antoine Griezmann now has a chance to win the match at the highest level. Atlético is certainly playing the new Champions League with eight matches (for the first phase), but “Grizi” does not play his team’s Copa del Rey matches and is obviously behind the French team from now on. That is to say a season before a bad turn of events and, after the international window, the title place is clearly threatened. Julian Alvarez and Alexander Sorloth are part of two associated ensembles.

The 2018 world champion was born speaking French after passing through the Parc des Princes, notably in the Champions League. The number 7 of the Colchoneros is not quite the same as the team’s fighters, we must not force the choice of passes and a different application technique. It was catastrophic and his assist for Angel Correa, on the winning goal in the 93rd minute, from a long cross, in no way invalidates the mediocre performance of Diego Simeone’s team.

Griezmann transparent

Atléti du “Cholo” are now even worse on Sunday evening in La Liga, on the pitch in Mallorca. Facing a team known for being very defensive, the Madrid team was cowering in the camp, and was even saved by its goalkeeper Jan Oblak. Ridiculous. The Slovenian goalkeeper was forced to make a few saves before scoring the winning goal with a powerful clearance which allowed Giuliano Simeone to escape at full speed to serve Julian Alvarez for the only goal. the meeting (61st). Two bad matches, two victories. The miracle is permanent.

If Atlético is not a good team this season, it is clear that it is the leader’s offensive. The name of the observers was also appreciated after PSG-Atlético: Griezmann is already at the pace of MLS. The 3rd edition of the Ballon d’Or in 2016 and 2018 was not the first time in the race, it was also a match and it was not a key pass. This one plays a role: encountered in the orbit of his teammates. Griezmann is on one but two assists decided in the club’s 12 consecutive matches. It’s worrying for him. And some supporters are already moving forward. The end is near…
