Diego Simeone’s strong words towards Antoine Griezmann had a particular resonance in recent hours.
“We will take advantage of him for the time that remains…”. A wind of nostalgia ran through the capital on Tuesday when Diego Simeone spoke about the situation of Antoine Griezmann on the eve of the clash between Atlético de Madrid and
Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes.
The Argentine technician paid a vibrant tribute to his flagship player. But he also confirmed, in his own way, that the end of history was inexorably approaching.
Simeone’s sublime tribute to Griezmann
“ For him, I feel only gratitude and I thank him, said ‘El Cholo’. He was 23 when he came to us, and we grew up together. He has done magnificent things, with his selection, he has just passed the milestone of 400 matches with us (405 in all competitions), and it was therefore me who put him on the match sheet 400 times. So I have nothing but admiration for his work, his way of interpreting football and his way of living, as we saw with his classy exit from the selection.“.
A classy outing for the Blues before another, scheduled one, with Atlético? “We will enjoy him for the time that remains. And if one day he were to leave, we would accompany him with great affection.”replied the Colchoneros coach. As a reminder, Griezmann, linked to Atlético until 2026, could leave next summer to take up a challenge in Major League Soccer.
