00:00At 34, Antoine Griezmann, who is no longer necessarily a starter at Atletico Madrid because, of course,
00:04'Age is starting to play a role, he just released one of his performances against Barça and that performance, I think
00:09that it's the result of him not playing much anymore because, inevitably, having less
00:12Playing time compared to before, he can rest, he can recover physically, in addition to that, and
00:17As you know, he retired from international football with the French national team, so naturally he didn't...
00:21With Atletico in first place, they're not going to waste time playing pointless matches.
00:24Nations League matches, games in Mico, MĂ©couille, etc.
00:26And in the end, it's a repeat of last night's performance; in the 3rd minute of the game, he already makes a pass.
00:30Giuliano, who was unable to score in the 14th minute, scored the second goal to make it 2-0.
00:34Beyond a superb play, control, shot, truly everything was magnificent; at 3-0, it was him again who...
00:39He'll find Giuliano and he'll initiate the action a little bit, and let's not kid ourselves, we
00:43has truly rediscovered a player who is exceptional, when it's a player who isn't exhausted by the
00:46In matches, he's really too strong, obviously at 34 years old, you're less physically fit, so naturally you have to
00:50You need to rest a little, your passing quality, your crossing quality, your vision of the game, etc., you don't
00:55Don't lose it to that.
00:56Last year, things started to get a little complicated, because Griezmann had a lot of
01:00Playing time, so he had more than 90 minutes each time, but still, for me, he had too much.
01:03of playing time compared to what he was capable of providing; this year he has less time
01:06In terms of gameplay, he is often a bit of a substitute, a luxury joker, a bit like last year
01:10In the past, we saw this with Luka Modric, for example, at Real Madrid.
01:12And Griezmann in that role, that suits me fine, that's what I said when he
01:15His contract was extended last year, and I said okay, he's staying at the club, no problem, but
01:18However, he must have a substitute or luxury substitute salary, and above all, playing time.
01:23of a rotation player who can come on in some matches, who can be a starter but not all the time
01:27etc.
01:27Atletico is well-stocked with quality players; we have Griezmann available for every match, but on the other hand, in some matches,
01:32When it's at full throttle, it delivers performances like this.
