Griezmann-Joao Felix duo thrills Atletico

How will Griezmann and Joao Felix fit together at Cholo Simeone's Atletico Madrid? There is a part of the Atletico's fans who are still wary of the Frenchman's return because his departure in 2019 with a previous documentary to announce in principle that he was staying hurt, but the truth is that, if he shows his best version and associates it with that of the Portuguese, the team could achieve great success thanks to them.

The Frenchman is left-footed; the Portuguese is right-footed. They both have great ball control and are both in the opposition's box, giving constant work to the defence. They can also drop to the wing and play as strikers or assistants. If the three-quarter area can bring together their similar but different approaches to football, their coach could have a very sharp weapon in his hands.

Especially if you look at the scheme from a more general point of view. These two players will have specialists of other profiles around them. If it's a matter of finishing deep balls or accurate crosses, Luis Suarez is the solution. If versatility is required, Marcos Llorente will be called upon.

These offensive resources, added to the solidity at the back that Cholo Simeone tends to imprint as a personal trademark, make Atletico Madrid a clear candidate to lift the Spanish league title once again. And, in Griezmann's case, this will mean, to the delight of the fans, causing problems for his former team, Barcelona.
