Simeone trusts Griezmann for the match against Alavés
With two days to go before the match against Alavés, Cholo Simeone has decided to try out Antoine Griezmann as a starter. The Argentine coach has given his pupil the opportunity after two consecutive substitutions.
Griezmann has returned to the mix for a starting eleven that is still not fully defined. The starting defense appears to be formed by Llorente, Le Normand, Lenglet, and Galán, while the midfield would be for Giuliano, De Paul, Barrios, and Gallagher.
In the attack, Julián is a fixture, and Griezmann is competing for a spot alongside Sorloth. In the training session, Rodrigo Riquelme was the only absentee and stayed working in the gym. The work was divided into two parts, with ball exercises and a match against a team formed by players from La Academia.
The theoretical starters completed the match in the first part, and in the second part, the lineup was changed so that the theoretical substitutes could face the academy players. With this intensity and dedication, Atlético de Madrid is preparing to face Alavés at the Metropolitano.
