Griezmann, as if not two years had passed

Sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't, but It is often said that newcomers to Atlético have to overcome Simeone's military service. It is not easy to get to the team and get started. With Griezmann that dilemma will not appear. Cholo knows him well and the footballer also knows what to give and what is expected of him. Because, The coach even meditates that he will re-start as a starter against Espanyol.

Simeone turns the plan around because on Sunday Espanyol plays and on Wednesday, Porto. In 21 days there will be seven games. In the absence of Correa, who will arrive in a hurry, the doubt seemed to be between Griezmann and João Félix. However, in Friday's session, while rehearsing an eleven with almost all positions doubled, only the Frenchman was the second striker. The Portuguese worked at the Lemar site.

Griezmann also arrives with the high of his double against Finland. I mean, he is not a depressed gamer. The footballer who He penalized during the first three days with Barça seems to have removed a burden and that puts him at the height of the rest in the internal competition. With João coming out of injury and Correa just landed from Argentina, all roads lead to Antoine.

First out, then in the Wanda

Secondly, Simeone will also calibrate the Metropolitan effect. Against Espanyol, Griezmann's entry will generate little more than indifference, but the following matches, Porto and Athletic, they are at home. And there is a lot of intrigue about how they will be before and during those matches when the Frenchman is warming up, playing, when his name sounds over the loudspeaker … even if he scores a goal.

The rojiblanco train is on and does not wait. And he comes from being a champion, so it will not be easy to get on. Let them tell De Paul, star in the Copa América and who now suffers from how expensive it is to enter the center of the field. And for Griezmann, his position in the eleven will be closer than ever, but he has in his favor what he showed in the past and the full confidence of a Simeone who claimed him until the final whistle of the market.
