How do you think the Atlético fans will receive Griezmann?

I think they will receive it well. He is an Atlético de Madrid footballer and, as such, the fan always tries to encourage and support his team, not only him, but every player in the club. Antoine is going to do things well so that people love him as before.

Is it the best squad in the history of Atleti?

It is the results that mark you to be better or worse. We have a very strong, very competitive work group: This internal competition will make us better. We do not think about whether we are better or worse, but about competing and doing things very well and we will see at the end of the season.
