international conflict Atlético de Madrid. One of them, until next June 30 only. Antoine Griezmannneither France; and Memphis Depay through Netherlandsfaced off this Friday, June 21 in the second game of Group D of European Cup.
In the case of the French, he is the captain of his country due to the absence of Kylian Mbappéwho stayed on the bench to avoid problems after breaking his nasal septum, which happened in the first match of the tournament.
Griezmann He is one of the heroes of the conflict. It is rare to see a player with the sense not to take advantage of an opportunity as clearly seen in the opening stages of the game against Netherlands. In the 13th minute, Rabiot entered the area, clearing the score against Verbruggen -after a pass on the heel Thuram-, instead of shooting from point-blank range, he chose to give a pass to Griezmann to whom the ball was left, he was confused and did not score.
The player of Athletic He couldn’t believe it, one of those rare times to see him fail. And it’s not the only one. Then, a minute later, I passed behind Kante for the captain of Francewho hit a left-footed shot from the center of the area that hit the crossbar.
Before that, in the early stages, the Colchonero striker attempted a shot from outside the area where Verbruggen He had to respond with a pause.
The two clear occasions he missed Griezmann They left him a little knocked out in the first half, thinking about the matter since then, without Mbappeboth he and Thuram They are more responsible for scoring.
The fateful night of the colchonero will experience a new disappointment. In the 64th minute, he gave up Kante for Griezmannat the far post, all alone, but his semi-miss and falling shot denied him. Verbruggen becoming a giant.
A DISCRETE MEMPHIS
In its part, Memphis Depay He left a careful game. Their best chance was a free kick in the 55th minute, which hit the wall. The Colchonero player, whose contract expires on June 30, does not take advantage of the appointment to put himself on the showcase.
