Zapping World Eleven EXCLUDED: Youssouf Fofana’s “Little brother” interview!
Atlético Madrid and Antoine Griezmann had a great Saturday night. Large winners of Sevilla FC (6-1) on Saturday evening, the Colchoneros delighted their audience and took third place in La Liga ahead of Real Sociedad. Associated with Memphis Depay, “Grizou” again splashed the meeting with his class, offering a decisive pass to the Dutchman before registering a “golazo” with a long shot in the second half. Author of 8 goals and 8 assists in the league, the French attacking midfielder is regaining color this season, even more since his return from the World Cup.
His performances necessarily appeal to his coach Diego Simeone who did not hesitate to show his affection for the tricolor. While Griezmann was live on Spanish TV, ‘El Cholo’ appeared all smiles to give his protege a kiss. A beautiful scene between the two men, during a special evening for the Argentine coach who became, against Sevilla, the most capped coach in history on the Atlético bench with 613 games! With his magnificent goal, “Grizou” honored, as it should be, the record of his mentor.

The Argentinian technician did not fail to declare his love for the Frenchman:
“I like the person that Griezmann is, but I like the footballer, so the kiss is more for the footballer because of the commitment. He had wonderful years, he chose to leave, he understood that “He had to come back, it was difficult. And… here he is.”
