Saturday November 30, Estadio José-Zorrilla in Valladolid. Ronaldo's club (the real one) is on the verge of being dismembered by Atlético de Madrid, not faithful that evening to its reputation as a team with a lackluster game. A 0-5 slap delivered away, with a nice goal from Antoine Griezmann. Yes, only « pretty »and not « Magnificent » or « goatesque » as we have read everywhere on social networks. At 52e minute, the French playmaker controlled the ball by turning around, before placing it in the small net with a little flick from his silky left foot. A classy sequence obviously, which is not within the reach of the first ball fiddler, but which has nothing to do with a Puskás prize.
The one who is terribly missed by the French team (come back, please) especially took advantage of Eray Cömert's completely failed defensive intervention to open the way to the goal. The Swiss defender went astray like a big man and didn't bite into any body feints. The timing of his tackle should be shown in all training centers as a counter-example and Griezmann's facetiousness did not particularly have an impact on the behavior of the former Nantes player. The rest of the sequence is sublime in finesse and class, but it is difficult not to imagine the Valladolid defenders with bibs, like in training.
Bergkamp can go back to sleep peacefully
His achievement, his seventh of the season in all competitions, still brought the local public to their feet, who applauded the inspiration of their tormentor. “I enjoyed the momentcommented the top scorer in the history of Colchoneros on DAZN at the end of the game. Ultimately, this is what all players want, whether from opposing fans or from their team. » The Mâconnais knows it: his main merit is to have followed the movement well and to let himself be guided by the magnificent delivery of Julian Alvarez. Inertia means that, even if at one point he seems to lose control, the Frenchman just has to get back in the right direction to conclude the whole thing with insight. In short: it looks like Bergkamp but it's not Bergkamp.
But just this weekend, a few magnificent goals would have deserved at least as much attention as Griezmann's candy. Emerson Palmieri's free kick with West Ham against Arsenal (2-5), for example, or Cole Palmer's strike against Aston Villa (3-0). The magnificent tumble of Jamie Bynoe-Gittens – who put his opponent in the wind thanks to his feint – during the draw between his Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich (1-1) is not bad either. And how would the Internet have reacted if it was Griezmann who had scored Matthis Abline's goal at the Parc des Princes with Nantes (1-1)?
