Antoine Griezmann finally appeared, when Atlético needed him the most. He came in 1-0 against and helped his team's comeback with the tying goal after a drop from Lodi. The Frenchman takes a load off his shoulders and attended Movistar to analyze the victory and his personal situation:
What more can you ask for from a party? The spotlights were pointed at you after the criticism …
There is also part of the reason, I was not comfortable, I could not find myself and with work and with the help of my colleagues and the coach who gives me, I can only improve. My teammates are waiting for me, the club, the fans and I am here for that. I try to get to my best level as soon as possible …
Why wasn't he comfortable?
Much change, in the end everything was done on the last day. It is another team, another way of playing and it costs. There are many changes, everything is different and I have to get used to it as soon as possible. The coach and the teammates need me and I hope it will be as soon as possible. Nights like this will help me improve.
Simeone took responsibility for you …
Much respect and admiration for this coach. It has improved me, it has made me reach my best level. That is why I wanted to return, for him, for the club and the fans. I am very proud here and I am for whatever.
Many people demanded that he ask for forgiveness. Is this worth forgiveness?
The fans want to see me like this, like tonight and that's the only thing I want, to give them joy, to go to sleep happily. My goal when I return is to make them happy and bring nice things.
Marcos Llorente: “They score us goals very soon”
What feeling does victory leave you?
Three very important points, the team knew the importance of winning here, it was difficult for us at the beginning, and it is something that we have to improve. They are scoring us goals very soon and there are times when it can get complicated and we do not take the game forward.
The start of the game costs them.
We are going to try to improve that. More concentration is an issue to improve, more intensity in the set pieces and it is very important not to have to row all the games and to be able to carry out the matches with patience and not against the clock.
Suárez and Griezmann scored.
Happy everyone, for any player to score gives you confidence and even more they who live off that and happy and happy. They are two important players who are going to give us a lot.
How do you see the group?
We are with four points, it is something positive, but there is still a lot ahead. Any of the teams can pass and it doesn't matter how we see it now, you have to go game by game and get all three points.
