Griezmann starts training with his favourite piece: the head of the lion

A force to be reckoned with, because he will command the attack. Together with Luis Suarez, but he is new and has been one of the most famous names all summer. San Mames is not an easy place to go to for his first day in the office, although he will not say it himself. 

Because Bilbao are, along with Celta, Valencia and Valladolid, the rivals to whom Griezmann has played against so many times, a total of eight, as he plays in the elite.

Since the 29th September 2012, with the Real Sociedad shirt, he has been hammering the goal of Athletic.

The biggest day took place in the 14-15 season when he conquered San Mames with a hat trick in a 1-4 Simeone team. The strangest thing about this day was that the 'lions' were trained by Ernesto Valverde, who is now their coach.

The last of his goals also took place in San Mamés, where he has scored five of his eight goals. Both drew with two goals in January 2017. Now he hopes to add the date of August 16 to his calender as another one linked to his happy history against Athletic.

After a good preseason, scoring against Naples, he believes they can be victorious and he will score a goal, therefore continuing to make his first days in the City those of pure happiness.
