Griezmann: A Starter Against Alavés?
Atlético de Madrid is preparing intensely for the crucial match against Alavés at the Metropolitano. Cholo Simeone, with the ambition to replicate the brilliant image shown against Rayo Vallecano, led a morning session where the main novelty was the inclusion of Antoine Griezmann in the starting eleven, partnering Julián Alvarez in attack.
Griezmann’s possible starting position is the main unknown in the lineup, as he competes for a spot with Sorloth. The rest of the team seems defined: Oblak would be in goal; Llorente, Le Normand, Lenglet and Javi Galán would make up the defense; Giuliano, Barrios, De Paul and Gallagher would take care of the midfield.
Intensity marked the tone of the training session, where Simeone did not skimp on praise for his players for the effort they put in. The coach is aware of the demands that Alavés poses and demands maximum concentration from the starting whistle.
The session was cheered by numerous fans, who took advantage of the festive day to get closer to the Sports City and show their unconditional support to the team. The Colchonero fans are confident of a victory that will consolidate Atlético in the upper part of the table.
