Griezmann’s wisdom, his instinct and his talent still have a lot to say and decide. He has lost his tenure, but he faces his new role with a dignity and voracity that is . He resolved a difficult game with two goals against a Levante team that had tied 1-1 and threatened to defend the draw until the end. Griezmann is still worth a fortune.

Atlético stood ready to air out the match quickly against a rival they had crossed because they tend to have indigestion and in their last two visits to the Metropolitano they came out with the three points in the bag. left side of the midfield in the absence of Nico González. Behind, Ruggeri, in what seems like an attempt by Simeone to keep the Italian from disengaging. It will be difficult to see him with the miuras in the big events, but Cholo is testing if, at least, it is worth it for home duels where the team is very dominant.
Atlético had good ball speed in all areas of the field at the start and pointed where they believed Calero’s orderly Levante could have cracks, mostly between their center backs and their full backs. Hancko teledirected a forty-meter ball to Barrios in that weak area. The one from Moratalaz did not accompany the taming of the ball that he did with his excellent control in the air with a more forceful shot. Sorloth also failed to give power to a bagel from Barrios himself. The Norwegian is one of those rare cases of tall forwards who have a bubblegum neck. There were no offensive signs from Levante, involved in the task of trying to contain Atlético’s impetuous exit. Before the first ten minutes of the hour, the red and whites had already recorded half a dozen corner kicks and that couple of chances. Atlético’s goal was generated from a connection between Giuliano and Barrios to gain the baseline. The center behind the midfielder was tapped by Ryan and the ball slipped into his goal after bouncing off Dela.
In that first quarter of an hour there was a lot of presence from Llorente, Giuliano, Barrios and, above all, Baena. The Almerian is different and in all three he has been dominant. Midfielder against Betis, midfielder against Sevilla and St-Gilloise and this Saturday on the left wing. Inside or out, his finesse and quickness of legs and head in the last 30 meters are devastating. The Levant had not existed. Without news of their two most decisive players, the small Carlos Álvarez and the marble Etta Eyong. The Calero team found themselves with a corner kick that brought out the colors of the defense made by Simeone’s team. Manu Sánchez began an unmarked run from the edge of the area to connect with a good header. Giménez’s shocked face and Simeone’s rebound x-rayed the embarrassment. Atlético could barely finish a couple of corner kicks out of the 15 they took and their rival got oil from one.
The goal strengthened Levante and stunned Atlético, who stalled on a diving header from Simeone. Calero’s team aborted the loading of centers without breaking down. Well armed at the back, although without threats to the counter.
Atlético came out bossy again after the break, but with the same precision problems in the last passes to do damage. Simeone sat Sorloth and Barrios to make way for Almada and Griezmann. Baena moved to the middle and in the first play after the movement, he broke the line for Giuliano, this one for Llorente and he found Griezman to push the ball. The changes were risky because Barrios’ legs were lost with the team focused on the opposite field and they had an immediate result. Levante was able to recover with another corner kick in which Oblak avoided Koyalipou’s equalizer on the goal line. After the scare, Griezmann sentenced, flocking like a cazagoles of all life.
