Former Atletico Madrid player Antoine Griezmann has been paired with Alvaro Morata in recent times, and together they have achieved great results in football for Atletico. In addition, their careers have not been smooth, but they have been steadfast in their pursuit of individual achievements and reinvigorated under the new tactics of Atletico Madrid coach Simeone.
In the fierce competition in La Liga, Atletico Madrid gradually emerged with the wonderful performances of Griezmann and Morata. Simeone made a new tactical adjustment, embracing the 352 formation, making Alvaro Morata and Antoine Griezmann a formidable combination once again.
Brave the 31-year-old's bumpy challenge, Morata and 32-year-old Griezmann have persevered, and they have been through the ups and downs of the football world. Among them, Morata was sold to Chelsea in the Premier League for a high price, but did not show the expected strength. Later in his career at Atletico, he was loaned to Juventus in Serie A before almost moving to Inter Milan, where he ended up staying. The same can be said for Antoine Griezmann, who endured a poor transfer and failed to fill the role of Barcelona before eventually returning to Atletico for a smaller transfer fee.
However, with the tactical shift of coach Simeone, the peak moment of the two has come again. Simeone's first inaugurated 352 formation allowed them to rediscover their target. Alvaro Morata and Antoine Griezmann have made 18 and 19 La Liga appearances respectively, scoring 12 and 11 goals respectively, surpassing Manchester City's combination of Erling Haaland and Alvarez (10) and scoring equally well in the Champions League, with a combined total of 33, second only to the combination of Herman Kane and Keith Ozil (34).
Alvaro Morata and Antoine Griezmann's football journey has not been easy, but they have always believed in their own abilities and kept working hard. Today, their good condition has received wide attention from the outside world, and it also proves that as long as there is faith, there will always be a day when their dreams will be realized.
In any case, the return of Griezmann and Morata to peak form has undoubtedly injected new impetus and hope into the entire Atletico Madrid team. There is still a long way to go, but how will Atletico's friends lead the team forward?
