Zapping Our Mondial EXCLUDED: Geyoro, Karchaoui and Périsset’s “Little Sister” interview!
28, 28 and 26 minutes: this is Antoine Griezmann’s playing time in the first 3 La Liga games with Atlético this season. The French international starts all matches on the substitutes’ bench for a very specific reason. Indeed, for not having paid a clause of 40 million to Barça, “Grizou” cannot play more than 30 minutes per match. Otherwise, the Colchoneros would be forced to exercise the option to buy Griezmann on June 30, 2023, and are not yet ready to pay that sum at the moment. After his men’s victory in Valencia (0-1), Atlético coach Diego Simeone spoke regarding the Griezmann case. The 2018 world champion also made a name for himself yesterday, scoring his second goal of the season. in La Liga.
“Having Griezmann on the pitch is very important”
The Cholo returned to the performance of “Grizi” on Monday evening:
“As long as Griezmann manages to respond on the pitch the way he does, having him on the pitch is very important and I understand putting him on when it suits the team best.”
Diego Simeone took the opportunity to discuss Carrasco’s possible departure to Tottenham:
“I’m worried regarding Carrasco or someone else. You can’t imagine it, it’s normal for all managers except for some. Something big can always happen for clubs, we’re not the owners but the coaches”
Atlético Madrid should experience a turbulent end to the transfer window. Sergio Reguilón is expected today in Madrid to engage with the Colchoneros. He arrives to compensate for the departure of Renan Lodi at Nottingham Forrest. For Yannick Carrasco, his departure to Tottenham might accelerate in the coming hours.
to summarize
Diego Simeone returned to the Antoine Griezmann case and the possible departure of one of his executives, following the victory of the Colchoneros on the lawn of Valencia (0-1). After this success, Atlético Madrid is 6th in La Liga, following 3 days.
