Griezmann, the Engine of Atlético
French striker Antoine Griezmann is in top form, which worries his next opponent, Mallorca. In the last eight matches against the Balearic team, Griezmann has participated in five goals, with two scored and three assisted.
His coach, Diego Simeone, highlighted his performance in the Champions League match against Salzburg, calling it ‘one of the best of the last month’. Griezmann starts February in high spirits, after a spectacular start to the season, with 18 goals and eight assists.
Despite an injury that kept him off the pitch for a while, the Frenchman has returned to his level and is seeking to reach the 200-goal mark with Atlético. With 14 goals in the current season, the next five do not seem far away.
Mallorca should be worried, as Griezmann has a history of great performances against them. The rojiblanco team faces a major challenge, but with Griezmann in form, anything is possible. The striker is crucial for Atlético, and his coach knows that if he is doing well, the team can achieve great things.
Last season, Griezmann reached a goal tally that seemed unattainable, and now he is seeking to surpass it. With his current level, it does not seem that the five goals needed to reach the 200-goal mark with Atlético will take long to arrive.
