Atlético de Madrid fans woke up with a smile on Tuesday morning. Monday evening, their team won 3-0 on the lawn of Getafe, starting this new La Liga season in the best possible way. And many of them have shone, like Alvaro Morata, author of a double, or João Félix, at work on several high-class actions.
Entering the second period, Antoine Griezmann played a good half hour, and even shook the nets after a service from the Portuguese. His second goal in 2022, he who had not scored since January 6 in the King’s Cup. His last La Liga goal even dated back to November 28, 2021, against Cadiz. What invites optimism?
Huge competition
Not necessarily. This morning, in the summaries of the Spanish media, there are only Morata and Félix. The two men, in addition to having shone on an individual level, displayed an exceptional understanding, confirming the good feelings already shown during the preseason. The victim of it all? Antoine Griezmann, inevitably, who also arrives on a much less positive dynamic.
Knowing that in addition to that, apart from the two players mentioned above, there are other elements like Matheus Cunha or Angel Correa who have performed better than the Frenchman in recent months. The latter counts on the confidence of Simeone, who pushed for his club not to part with itand don’t give up according to Brand. The solution ? Playing a little lower on the pitch, like yesterday at neighbors Getafe. But one thing is certain according to the Iberian media: currently, Griezmann is a substitute in the mind of the Argentinian.
