Griezmann and Julián, the Colchoneros Duo to Resurge
Atlético de Madrid is preparing for its next match with high morale and renewed confidence. Simeone and Griezmann had a chat on the training ground, showing the coach’s total support for the French striker, who has started the last 13 matches despite recent criticism.
El Cholo is confident that Griezmann will redeem himself against Valladolid, forming a striking partnership with Julián. The starting lineup will feature important changes. Koke returns to the starting eleven after overcoming his injury, bringing experience and solidity to the midfield alongside Pablo Barrios.
This change allows Llorente to occupy the right-back position, returning Nahuel to the bench. Koke’s presence is crucial for the team’s balance and connection between the lines. The expected starting eleven would consist of Oblak in goal, defended by Llorente, Giménez, Lenglet and Galán.
In midfield, Giuliano, Barrios and Koke will lead the way, while Gallagher will accompany the attacking duo Julián-Griezmann in the creation of the offensive game. The team will seek victory with a balanced formation and a renewed attack, where the connection between Julián and Griezmann promises to be key to overcome the bottom team. Atlético faces the match with optimism and the firm intention of adding three important points.
