With a season as complicated as the one that seems to be for the Atletico Madrid in the institutional and sports, Diego Simeon assumes that he will have to use continuity as the best ingredient to fuel his team in 22/23. Few new faces, some significant casualties and players who will have to step up.

One of them is joao felix. The other, Antoine Griezmann. Both are called to command the mattress attack next season. They already left signs of their good connection in the final stretch of the previous season. And that is what is expected. A sports connection but also a personal one.

And is that both get along extraordinarily well off the pitch. When they seemed called to have to fight for the same place in the eleven of the Athleticit turns out that Simeone He was already fitting the pieces to make them form a couple that commands the rojiblanco attack in the upcoming campaign.

The gestures of complicity between the two have been continuous in this regard. The last one, the message on social networks to answer the news that Griezmann He stayed one more season, on loan, at the Atletico Madrid. In this context, the Portuguese posted a brief message with two icons with hearts. It is clear that the harmony between the two is good.

It was already shown last season with several episodes. For example, when criticism of the French intensified, it was the Portuguese who defended him on several occasions. In San Sirowhen Griezmann he scored the goal that tied the match (later he would end up winning), Joao He was the first to hug him to give him confidence. After the match, he went further: “He is world champion, one of the great players in the history of the Athletic. He is calm. From the outside, people talk a lot, but he is calm and doing his job, “Joao said then.

SWITCHED SHIRTS

Later, days later, he made the behavior of a fan ugly who asked him for an autograph and told him that he had to send his teammate back to the Barca. “It’s disrespectful,” the young player told him, visibly upset by the comment. We already say that the gestures of complicity have been repeated in training sessions and matches. Like the one they both shared after qualifying for the quarterfinals of Championsin Port. In the group photo in the locker room, they both appeared with their shirts changed, showing them to the camera.

It seems that a good partnership is coming between two players who understand each other perfectly in football, who combine quickly because they think quickly. The Athletic can be the great beneficiary of it if Griezmann recovers the level of his first stage in rojiblanco. Both want to go hand in hand, like when they starred in one of the funniest images of the season when leaving Griezmann to the grass in a game and hold the hand of Joao as if he were one of the children who accompany the players in the corridor.
