Zapping World Eleven EXCLUDED: Édouard Mendy’s “Little Brother” interview!
In the standings, Diego Simeone’s men are currently 4th, three points ahead of Real Betis and are therefore still in the running to qualify for the Champions League. They can thank Yannick Carrasco who scored a capital double against Espanyol yesterday afternoon. Despite the controversial end to the match and the ten minutes of added time that led to the Belgian striker’s penalty, the debate is elsewhere today.
In the post-match press conference, Diego Simeone reacted to Antoine Griezmann’s average entry which echoes his bad period. The French international has not scored for several months. This season, his last goal dates back to January 6, it was in the Copa del Rey, while in La Liga, it was November 28 against Cadiz. A powerlessness that logically worries observers, but not the Sholo : “ Griezmann is a very important player and we think about what he brings to the team, we care. Obviously, he is going through a difficult period in terms of goals, which is not normal. But I’m not worried, we’ll see a really good Griezmann soon and he’ll be a goalscorer again. »
to summarize
This season, Antoine Griezmann does not shine as much as during his first spell at Atlético de Madrid. This does not seem to worry Diego Simeone, who believes in a strong comeback from his French striker. The Colchoneros will need him until the end of the season.
