The career is almost over! 34-year-old Griezmann accepts a new role, aiming at the championship + Atletico Madrid 200 goals

Griezmann previously announced that he would renew his contract with Atletico Madrid until 2027, which means that the 34-year-old French star is basically sure to end his career in Madrid. It really makes people sigh that time is so fast. Previously, some teams in the MFA wanted to sign him, but he still chose to stay. However, this time, he took the initiative to accept a new role: he is no longer the absolute core of playing all the game, but rather is more inclined to be the "key gentleman" who can stand up at a critical moment and the big brother in the locker room. Coach Simeone trusts this very much. The performance in the preseason also gave everyone confidence. His condition was a bit sluggish before and his goals were not very good (for example, he didn't score from January to the end of La Liga last season), but this summer he regained some feeling and scored a beautiful and iconic goal for Newcastle. He himself said: "I feel very good, the training intensity is very high, which will help the new season." Although his physical fitness is certainly not as good as when he was 25 years old, Griezmann's football brain and passing vision are still valuable assets for Atletico Madrid's offense.

He now has a big goal in front of him: to score the 200th goal for Atletico Madrid! There have been 198 goals so far, only two goals away. This will be an important milestone in his club history.

There are also interesting things off the field. After winning Newcastle two days ago, he took a photo with a precious rookie card from Messi in the locker room, with the caption "Messi's rookie card", which aroused heated discussions among fans. This wave of operations not only showed his respect for the legend, but also gave him a sense of existence.

After retiring from the French national team gloriously, Griezmann devoted all his energy to Atletico Madrid. He understands his new role and is willing to help his young teammates. But the ultimate goal has not changed: help Atletico Madrid win the La Liga championship! "I hope to realize my dream here and let the fans see us lift the trophy." The 200-goal sprint is a new starting point for him to realize his dream.
