Antoine Griezmann is the main man, the differential player for Atletico Madridin his victory at Mestalla. The Frenchman jumped onto the field of play past the 60th minute and took only two to send the ball into the net for 0-1 which ultimately gave the mattress team three points.
And he did it from a new position for him in this course. The cholos was thought of by a ‘new Griezmann‘ and he did it based on the virtues the player had. His new role is inside, almost hooking behind the forwards, closer to the midfield than the area, but in many flights to reach and identify.
He has played in several games like this. In Valencia he did it again. “We talked about it in the post game of Getafe. I have said a lot about him, he is complete, he knows what we want. Last year he played in several parts of the games, in that capacity. We see him as adaptable because he has game vision, strategy, allows us to play with a more offensive player elsewhere. That seeks to compensate for his situation when he plays,” explained the cholos at the beginning of the season.
And understand why. An example is the training session on Monday, August 30, where Simeon organized an exercise of rapid ball movement and pressure, in a reduced space. In several teams and a third support team, those in yellow overalls. At one point he asked Griezmann is the pivot with freedom of movement in the center of the rondo. And understood why. Agility, mental speed to move the ball, technique, intelligence, positioning, simplicity to solve rival pressure… The Frenchman gave a lesson in the exercise.
