Griezmann: «I know the team needs me and this is going to help me»

Antoine Griezmann became the hero of the Athletic in San Siro. The Frenchman lifted a weight off his shoulders by scoring the first goal in his second spell as a rojiblanco, which opened the door for the comeback against Milan. After the game he took the opportunity to criticize himself after the sticks he received for his performance in these first matches as rojiblanco.

The Atlético striker assures that he was not comfortable: «There is also part of the reason, I was not comfortable, I was not there and with work and with the help of my colleagues and the coach who gives me, I can only improve. My teammates are waiting for me, the club, the fans and I am here for that. I try to get to my best level as soon as possible … ».

«Much change, in the end everything was done on the last day. It is another team, another way of playing and it costs. There are many changes, everything is different and I have to get used to it as soon as possible. The coach and the teammates need me and I hope it is as soon as possible. Nights like this will help me get better“Griezmann acknowledges in the Movistar + microphones when asked about the reasons that made him uncomfortable.

Regarding Simeone, he only had words of praise and reveals that one of the reasons he has returned is because of the coach. «I have a lot of respect and admiration for this coach. It got me to my best level. That’s why I wanted to come back, for him, for this hobby, for the club. Very proud to be back and they know they have me for whatever it is. “I believe that the fans and the people want to see me like thisLike tonight and it’s the only thing I want, to give you happiness, to go to sleep happily. My goal when I return is to make them happy and bring beautiful things, “he added.
