We had somewhat lost the taste for his exceptional goals since he left for Barcelona.
But his return to Atletico de Madrid seems to regenerate Antoine Griezmann.
This Sunday, on the lawn of Valencia, the world champion scored another exceptional goal.
His fifth goal in the last seven games played by the French international striker this season.
We play the 57th minute. Valencia and Atletico are then tied (1-1). 60 meters from the Valencian goal, Griezmann recovers the ball while his team evolves in low block to suck his opponent. The Frenchman accelerates, leaves an opponent in place and starts a duel against two defenders who, instead of going to face him, retreat more and more towards their goal. This allows him to approach almost twenty meters from the opponent's surface and to unleash a very nice strike from the left foot which nestles in the top corner. Griezmann had already been involved in the Colchoneros' first goal and will then be involved in the third which will allow his team to lead 1-3.

But Atletico will concede two goals in stoppage time to leave Valencia with only one frustrating small point (3-3). Diego Simeone, the coach, took responsibility for the two points lost. “The two points that we lose are hard to accept, plague Simeone. But I can't stay for the last five minutes. I remember the great game they made after putting in a huge effort in England against Liverpool in the Champions League this week. In football, mistakes are always paid for. Often the coach makes the right choices, but sometimes it happens to be wrong. And today, the coach was wrong ”.
But, when the Blues meet at Clairefontaine to prepare for the two matches against Kazakhstan and Finland, Griezmann's return of confidence is necessarily good news for Didier Deschamps.
