The problems of Griezmann in the Athletic of Madrid

The last commitment of the colchoneros in which they defeated to the Barcelona 2-0 was positive for these. However, also they remained reflected some appearances that the ones of Simeone have to work if they want to improve. One of them is the one of the adaptation of Antoine Griezmann after his return to the team rojiblanco. However, no everything is grey with this, since the French marked the goal of the tie in front of the Milan and was more fine-tuned of what arrived to see in the previous parties that contested the Athletic.

"The Principito" was not to title in the party with the Barcelona. It is clear that his return with the colchoneros has not been as it has to have it expected. For the moment, the French has two problems: One calls Thomas Lemar and the another calls Joao Félix. Both have had an excellent moment with the team what has strengthened his titularity and this hampers him have more leadership. Besides, Luis Suárez is an indisputable headline for Simeone. Besides, it is necessary to add the distrust of big part of the fans to his figure, that did not forgive him his exit of the club. Neither in the party with the Barcelona was exento of the pitadas.

Another detail to consider, is that the Athletic to the that went back is not the Athletic that it was to the moment to go for fichar by the Barcelona. To the moment to go of the combined led by Diego Simeone, the team turned around him. Now, there are footballers with more hierarchy that he in the team.

Before his return Luis Suárez, Joao Félix, Carrasco, Llorente, Correa and the rest of the rojiblancos that did life in the team the past season conquered LaLiga Santander reinforcing his position like headlines. After the party of the Athletic with the Getafe, the Argentinian trainer said it of form very cutting: "This Athletic no longer is that in which he was".

Confidence, but still without weight

However, in spite of the said does not mean that Simeone have lost him the confidence, on the contrary. The knows it and knows that the French can play a good football. "I trust Antoine absolutely. It is importantísimo for our team and what had to say him and what would like me that it grow, already have said it to him (…) Expect that he put better, that can answer to all the people that in this moment criticises him. He has a challenge by in front in consequence of what happened in the past", added.

Numbers to the drop

For the moment, the current version of Griezmann is lower to the one of his last seasons with the Athletic of Madrid. In fact, only promedia 1.2 finish to goal in LaLiga, when before going to the Barcelona promediaba 3.1 shots to the arch by party, more than the double of what does at present. His participation in the game has menguado, since only it has made 17,8 passes of which 12,4 have been successful and in the season 18/19 promediaba 37,5 with a total of 28,1 successful passes.

"The Principito" now only accumulates a total of passes that can generate danger of 0.6, when in his last campaign was of 1.7 of average by party. Also it dribbles less: 0,4 positive dribblings of average by party when in his last days with the T-shirt rojiblanca had a total of 1,2 attempts with a 0,5 of success.
