The French striker, chosen ‘Five Star Player’ for the 2022/23 academic year by athletic fans
MADRID, 6 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The French footballer Antine Griezmann, striker for Atlético de Madrid, stated on Tuesday about next season that the mattress entity has “quality and a coach to achieve very great things”, after having closed LaLiga Santander with a bitter third position by staying one only point of the subchampionship.
“I think we are on a good line. Going to the holidays with that idea of the game and desire, that it be in training and on the field. And then go back to the top because I think we have quality and a coach to achieve very great”, commented Griezmann after being chosen ‘Five Star Player’ of the season by the Atlético fans.
The Mahou beer company presented the trophy to the French striker, who analyzed the course that has just ended. “At the beginning it was a bit difficult, we didn’t find the right path. In the World Cup everyone reflected on what they were doing well and what they were doing wrong, and we came back with another energy. And following in the footsteps of ‘Cholo’ and the results, the Confidence has been growing and we have finished very well”, he stressed.
In this sense, Griezmann admitted that “he really wanted to help the team” after being proclaimed runner-up in the world last December in Qatar, having lost the final against Argentina. “I had a great World Cup, a very good second round. I think my numbers in terms of goals and assists are one of the best I’ve had, so I’m very happy with my performance, but I’m missing a title,” he lamented.
“I have always said that to be the player at my ‘top’ level I need the fans, to have that relationship with them. The other day was something very nice for me, which I will always remember, with my children and with the fans”, he alluded to the last league match at the Cívitas Metropolitano. “And hopefully there can be more days like this, but I am the one who must give that desire inside and outside the field,” concluded the French striker.
