The added-time disaster in Valencia blurred everything, but a while before Griezmann had scored one of the goals of the season. The Frenchman stole the ball in his own field, drove swiftly towards the rival area and from the front unleashed an impossible left-foot for Cillessen. A great goal that made all the rojiblancos scream —Blue in Mestalla—, but especially to Simeone.
The technician went crazy with the 1-2 of his pupil. Griezmann approached the corner to celebrate the goal with his usual dance and on the way threw kisses to the stands. To who? From the band Cholo had sent him kisses for its so much, as it showed The Golazo de Gol. Coach and footballer have a special connection, that includes even their families, and the coach is especially happy about Antoine’s sporting success.
To Griezmann it has cost him to plug in and show itself as in its previous stage. But Simeone has been his great supporter, who made the most force for the French to return on August 31 to what was his home. And he has done everything possible to fit him into the team to improve what he had, which was nothing more and nothing less than the league champion. Slowly, the 8 is finding sensations and in Mestalla he scored a goal and participated in the other two. Unfortunately rojiblanca, the party had an unhappy ending.
