Griezmann returned to Atletico Madrid on loan, a "whistle-blowing transfer" that fans did not expect. La Liga Sports believes that The Grid has not performed well in the new season, which is the main reason for Laporta to abandon him. Griezmann left Barca and Messi bid farewell to Camp Nou this summer, can Koeman "guarantee" Coutinho to become the club's core player for the new season? Portuguese football star Decaux commented on the matter: "The return to Atletico" helps Coutinho to be at the core, because the Brazilian star has one less competitor in terms of the core position in the midfield, and Koeman's hopes of using the Cactori as an offensive engine are growing. The Red and Blue have lost another superstar, will this team have a tougher situation in the new season? Deco said: "I'm not worried about barca's players, I'm worried about Felix, he has less room to play at Atletico. ”
Felix was more depressed in 2021, he was affected by the global epidemic at the beginning of the year, and when he returned, he lost his main position under Simeone. This year's European Championship was supposed to be the stage for him to bloom, but he was plagued by injuries, which prevented him from being the main player in the European Championships, and Portugal also stopped in the round of 16. After the End of the European Championship, Felix underwent surgery on his right ankle, and many people had worried that he would not be able to play in the first half of the 21-22 season, but fortunately, his recovery was good, and he had participated in the team's joint training. Now that Griezmann is back at Atletico, Deco, as a senior, is worried about Felix's position being hit, after all, the grid is very experienced, and the young players are easily at a disadvantage in the competition with Griezmann.
Some fans think Deco's worries are a bit redundant, the grid can play full-back or play as a front, and Felix is suitable for the position of shadow striker. Simeone could have left Fiale lurking behind Suarez, with Griezmann attacking above the full-backs. However, the author believes that in theory, they can coexist in the same formation, the positions of the two do not overlap, but the functional attributes of the two are in conflict - Felix and the grid need core kicks, Xiaofei's speed power has no obvious advantage, he wants to cash in on the talent of the European Golden Boy Award, and he is more reliable in the direction of the organizer. After Griezmann's return to the Sheets, the French star is more likely to directly serve as the core of the organization.
So Deco is worried about Felix, once the grid once again becomes the fixed core of Simeone's system, even if Xiaofei can get the starting position, the youngster's development space will be reduced, and his playing style will also "shrink his hands". The return of the grid to Atletico Madrid will not only change more for Atletico, but also for Barcelona. Some fans believe that now that Koeman has one less core under him, the Dutch manager can safely develop the combination of De Jong and Depay, so that Barca's "Dutch Corridor" can be formed. However, the two Orange internationals formed an offensive corridor on the flanks, and the Camp Nou system could not lack the core of the middle, and Coutinho would benefit from it.
When the "grid back to Atletico" whistle turned, the author found some people who understood the ball after the ball said: "The players who left Barca this summer are almost all helping Kubird to be competent in the core. "When Messi failed to renew his contract, the probability of Coutinho staying with the Red and Blues rose. In theory, Coutinho could replace The Mayer King as the new core of Koeman's men. Early last season, the Brazilian star served as the engine at the front and Messi was pushed to the front. Unfortunately, Kubird was injured later, otherwise he might have been able to become a fixed core in Barcelona. After Messi left the team, there was no one who could "stand in front of Coutinho" in the position. In terms of functional attributes, if Griezmann plays with Kubird, the two may have some conflict in terms of ball rights.
The grid has also returned to Atletico Madrid, where Busquets, Pedri and other Barca midfielders are less demanding of the ball. Therefore, Deco believes that "grid back to Atletico" will help Coutinho to be competent in the core, and Koeman can rest assured that the Brazilian star will serve as the core player in the middle. Deco added that after Messi said goodbye to camp Nou, The Kuri's attacking space has been freed up, and if the Brazilian star can't find the rhythm of his time at Liverpool, that's his own problem. It seems that in this whistle-blowing transfer, Coutinho has become the winner.
