Diego Simeone expressed gratitude for coaching Antoine Griezmann, calling him one of the most important players at Atletico Madrid. Griezmann, the club's all-time leading scorer, is set to leave for Orlando City SC after the season. Despite rumors of a mid-season departure, he will remain until the end of the 2025-26 season. Simeone praised Griezmann's physical condition and their strong communication, emphasizing the player's significance to the team as they prepare for a Champions League match against Barcelona.
"I'm grateful to have a player like him. He spent three difficult months to understand where he was. We started talking about how he could play more inside."
"He is in brutal physical condition. I consider him to be one of the most important players I have ever had."
"I have always given him my opinion as a coach and as a person who loves him. I am his coach, and I have always sought to help him because he has returned that affection."
