Simeone Praises Griezmann's Performance
Diego Simeone, the coach of Atlético Madrid, highlighted Antoine Griezmann's improved performance in the 3-1 victory against Girona, emphasizing the importance of maintaining focus in the race for Champions League spots in LaLiga.
"We're pleased with all the work Antoine put in. Despite the effort he made in the Champions League match, today I saw him much looser, much more himself. We need him like that. He's the most important player we have. We want him to give us everything he's got in this final stretch," he stated at the press conference at the Metropolitano.
"I celebrated a lot that everyone who could help in the match was committed to what's happening to us. For those of us who live for football, these are very beautiful weeks, tense, with pressure, responsibility, enthusiasm, and a desire for things to happen. To achieve that, you have to give your all and then let it be what it will be," he explained.
It's worth noting that Atlético is currently in fourth place in LaLiga with 61 points, behind Girona with 65. Below the "Colchoneros" is Athletic Club with 56 points, so Simeone's team must remain vigilant.
