Ahead of the match against Getafe in La Liga, Diego Simeone highlighted the evolution of the complicity between the Argentinian and the Frenchman, saying that it is “growing thanks to mutual understanding”.
Julián Álvarez and Antoine Griezmann are the major assets of Atlético de Madrid to compete in La Liga – where they occupy third place with 35 points, three behind the leader, FC Barcelona – and in the Champions League, where they are only one unit away from the qualifying places for the round of 16. Thanks to their contribution in goals during the last matches, Diego Simeone, the Colchoneros coach, highlighted the consolidation of this offensive duo.
“Little by little, I think they managed to strengthen their connection, understanding each other’s games better and better. Every day, they progress in this developing understanding,” said the Cholo during the press conference before the clash against Getafe, scheduled for next Sunday at 10 a.m. The statistics underline the excellent form of these two attackers: together they have scored 23 goals this season.
Indeed, in their last match, the world champion with Argentina opened the scoring with a magnificent shot, while the Principito scored twice for a 3-1 victory against Slovan Bratislava in the Champions League. In this competition, the two center forwards each total four goals.
The summary of Atlético de Madrid’s victory
However, the Argentine coach did not neglect the other attackers, also highlighting their importance in the team: “When Correa or Sorloth come into play, the complementarity between Julián and Antoine benefits from other characteristics that bring us a lot. It is obvious that we have four very important attackers, and we need the best from all of them“.
Finally, Simeone gave a brief analysis of the next match. A victory combined with a defeat of their great rival, Real Madrid, would allow his team to temporarily take the lead in the championship. “I have always considered Getafe a very competitive team, clear on its idea of play. We do not imagine any other type of match than the one we encountered recently: a very effective aerial game, the recovery of second balls and fierce competition on the field,” he concluded.
Point of view
The growing connection between Álvarez and Griezmann speaks of promising prospects for Atlético Madrid. At a time of fierce competition, observing how these two players adapt to each other and strengthen their collaboration can provide a crucial long-term advantage. The ability to take advantage of the different characteristics of each striker, as Simeone pointed out, could also become a decisive asset in the battle for the La Liga title and a satisfying conclusion to the Champions League. Let’s let time take its course and hope to see this duo reach their full potential on the pitch.
