Griezmann is a beast, and he should honestly be unanimously in the top 5-10 best players in the talks, but he rarely gets that type of praise for Griezmann
@@5stariley yeah the problem is he left athletico and joined Barcelona which kinda ruined his legacy a bit but definitely top 3 best ever athletico madrid
Started noticing his previously undiscovered playmaking qualities during the World Cup. Was surprised at how deep he would drop and even put in a defensive shift when required. He was phenomenal.
@@IsaiahAndrews-lg9vr did i said he played bad in tournament. He played very bad in euro final, wc final, missed penalty in UCL final. That's surely not great isn't it
It's basically a similiar role Thomas Müller played at Bayern, both midfielders did an array of duties which really didn't give them a specific pin-point position like CAM, or CM. In Griezmann's case, it's more remarkable because he used to be THE Target-man for Atletico, coming in from Real Sociedad, he was expected to fill in the big footprints left by Costa with Mandzukic. That role made him the face of Atletico, leading them to a ucl final and europa league title. This is, until his move to barcelona. Now at 33 years, he's no longer quick n speedy, or tall and strong for a targetman, so he has adopted an even complex role, which again, is carrying Atletico right now, his absence on the pitch can be seen as a disaster for Atletico as they continuosly drew or lost to mid-table or even low table teams when he was injured. Overall, its absolutely criminal in him not being talked about enough and him not regarded as one of the world's best. It was truly a mistake for him to shine during the era of the 2 goats.
Another phenomenal video. Antoine Grizmann is one of the best players of his generation and I'm glad he's starting to get that credit. One of the most complete offensive players I've seen.
He is a player that thrives from players moving all the time. He link so well deep and can control the flow of attacks his high press is so good for midfield and defense to spot the threat early and his counter attack is on another level. He is so dangerous you almost have to foul him because his positioning is on another level as well. Whenever he has the ball foul him because he spotted a run, a 1 2, or will initiate a counter and your defense is compromised. Also his work rate and technical abilities make him messi like around the box and final 3rd. If griezman is having a bad game the team will probably fall.
For me Griezmann as midfielder is greater than Xavi, Iniesta & Modric. People just dont realise his game in midfield where he fully carries his team & behaves like Messi level playmaker. Even in 2022 WC he was the best for France
@@donatellerxxiv1890 yeah giroud too.... No wonder France won that 2018 WC...they could have in 2022 if they had Kante and Pogba do the defensive work while they focus on scoring...
in the case of WC 22, it was just a matter of the football Gods siding with Argentina, they did everything they could to take it back to Paris well aside from that Kolo Muani miss or was it a wonderful save from Marinez? depends on where you sit@@KarlSkorger
@@donatellerxxiv1890 it was a wonderful save from emi...I was rooting for France to win it.. but just like you said the tournament was willed to be in Argentina's favor from the very get go
I noticed his (Griezmann) little or no want to get into the box during attacks or counter attacks and I said to myself, "look at Atletico de Madrid...they are not ready to attack and score", but as it turned out, that was their game plan and it put Inter. Milan off tactically. From the outside watching teams, one may think that they know the right thing to do, but you never know their (the team/club's) game plan really, until it works then we praise them 😅 or if it doesn't work, we criticize and say how we (observers from outside the club/team) were right and what we felt/knew should have been done/tweaked!
With a free man who can go left, right and center whenever necessary you can always have a numerical overload and passing triangles anywhere no matter the formation. Instead of specifically setting up to dominate the center or the wide spaces all game, you can leave it up to the judgement of the playmaker to dictate direction.
Always looking forward to your videos! Could you please make a video on feyenoord and especially Arne Slot. The guy has been doing wonders in the last 3-4 years
No matter how much people criticize his time at Barcelona but if you look at it closely that is what made him the player he is today. His understanding of the game sky rocketed after playing for Barça. His 2nd season at Barça is really underrated.
Thank you for the good video! I am not a Griezmann, nor Atletico fan, on the contrary, however, as someone that worked 4 years doing technical analysis of players, Griezmann was always a top10. I was simply amazed when I was looking at football with "trained eye".
Very underrated player of this generation. I think him making that statement that he is on messi and Ronaldo level caused his form to dip and playing at Barca.
similar to Thomas Muller who referes to himself as a "space investigator"; but Griezemann operates it deeper .He played this role brilliantly in the WC as well and only Argentina seemed to negate him. Its a role i could see our boy Kane performing as he gets older .in a way he already does but in his mid 30s he could do this in deeper positions
would you PLEASE do a video on Simeone and Atletico tactics, maybe as an evolution of his tactics (for example from 2013 through to 2017)??? like the one you did on Zidane's Real (2015-2018)
I’ve always liked Griezmann, so when he came to Barca I was excited. But sadly it didn’t go well because we were just a mess at the time and we didn’t utilize him that well.
Just a note on formations. It’s funny how everyone describes this formation as a 3-5-2 when it’s a 5-3-2. In the old days teams were slammed for being defensive and using a back 5, now it’s viewed as attacking. I get it depends how the team play that determines how attacking they are but it doesn’t change the fact that the base is a 5-3-2, just an attacking one.
Atletico need to splash the cash this offseason and bring in a player like Feyenoord's Calvin Stengs or Benifica's Rafa who is similar in their wide areas covered and great expected threat from passes, similar to Griezmann
in old words...he's a no.10 they should look into Zielinski, Tielemans & Zubimendi for their midfield replacements or all 3 of them could replace existing squad
@@Toptier264finaly someone who understand, griezmann was right when he said he is on the same table of ronaldo and messi, he doesnt score as much as them, but he does alot more things in the match, for me this guy is easily top 10 of all time, If only athleti was a better team, they would have won atleast 3 ucl those last years, which means him winning 3 ballon d'ors
How would you compare Jude’s free role dropping deep, drifting wide, making late runs into the box? Is he just a younger more active version? Or are they completely different especially when Jude is instructed to press high and more as a false 9 like against City when we were forced into a ultra low block
Would you guys think and especially @football meta, that BVB should man mark him all over the pitch in the upcoming cl games? Given that he's the biggest threat Atletico has and the team can't cope his absence? Sounds old school but might be effective in this special occasion
Hey man, make a vídeo about Abel Ferreira style in Palmeiras, guy is dominating brazilian football for three years already.. I promise you A LOT OF VIEWS, as everything Brazilians are somehow linked to
You know, I don’t think him and Messi on Barcelona would’ve ever worked. Maybe in the beginning of his career when he was a full on winger who would get onto balls and slot it past keepers. But as he aged he became more game iq orientated and wanted to dictate games. And even though it would be an amazing idea to have to play makers and two people who can strike the ball extremely well. Messi and griezman both need to get on the ball to get a feel for the game. -if they don’t touch the ball they aren’t as confident?
Usually teams with a free role player just have one player doing that as it is done so they can have a guy always linking up play and easing the attacking and passing options for their teammates, 2 playmakers like messi and griezmann can't work together as it'd be like having 2 bag of teas but with no water to pour on them. Free role players (unless they are Firmino who ran, marked and pressed like hell) tend to not waste energy as much in terms of defensive effort as you usually want them fresh to be the ones who dictate play and score goals. although in Liverpool Salah would be the guy being set up to define plays and scores not Bobby. So having 2 playmakers just makes you vulnerable defensively. a team is a team and you need players that complement each other's skills and weaknesses.
Griezmann ! .. mind game player .. not a foot game player This is what football is about .. These are the greatest players .. players of brain game (Football is a game of brains .. feet are just tools . "Pirlo") I will be glad to see analysis about Rodrygo if you can Ps , fascinating and stunning .. as usual ... I think there is no more need to say but deserve praise for every single video .. keep it up
Isn’t this how Foden plays his football Even Real Madrid without Bellingham is not the same Although having highly technical players to complement is helping akin to that of Real Madrid Atletico just lack this technical players
@@emelnwoye4449yeah I'm also wondering what is he talking. Maybe he just take a random football name and term then slap it into ai generated word or something
Just view the heatmaps of the players and you will see the true free role players Also Griezmann is part of every phase of play, not just the attacking ones
@@ezzeki1999Jude is different as he's more like a Kaka in terms of position (without as much magic as him) and plays/scores while being higher in the pitch like him, Ancelotti has been using lots of similar tactics as like when he coached Milan with Jude. I wouldn't say he's a free role since Jude doesnt involve himself much in build up or sideways phases when the ball is in the sides.
@@mariadanielalavia8877 I think he used to when he first arrived at United. Now playin him in the 10 role doesn't seem sensible anymore. Probably he'd be better as an 8 making late runs into the box, but with a primary role of a deeplying playmaker
Griezmann is a beast, and he should honestly be unanimously in the top 5-10 best players in the talks, but he rarely gets that type of praise for Griezmann
I'm pretty sure everyone rates him highly but he's not a typical player so people don't gravitate to him
Top 5-10 best players this season? Probably. But in this generation, or all time? Never.
@@Coach-rq6jxI mean athletico Madrid griezmann had a legitimate argument for the 5 best player on the planet.
@@5stariley yeah the problem is he left athletico and joined Barcelona which kinda ruined his legacy a bit but definitely top 3 best ever athletico madrid
@@Coach-rq6jx he is definitely in this generation top 10
Griezmann is a second striker of old, similar to the Italian strikers of the late 90s, early 00s and usually works best with a target man
very true.
I was thinking a close comparison would be Bergkamp.
Started noticing his previously undiscovered playmaking qualities during the World Cup. Was surprised at how deep he would drop and even put in a defensive shift when required. He was phenomenal.
I also love how hes not afraid to put in some slide tackles too
Yeah a defensive striker, it sucked that he got injured in the final.😢
i think he played am for both world cups
He is one of my fav player, and for me he was the WC 2022 MVP. Griezmann is underrated!
He was until final where he bottled as always
@@Ttk00007 You must be in your mother's womb during WC 2018 Final. Don't worry. You can watch the highlights on youtube
@@shobhit7735 that's the only final he played good. Was invisible in 2022 final. Missed penalty in UCL final. Missed easy chances in euro final.

This is why France are the favorite for euro 2024 grizou and Mbappé

Vamos Atletico Madrid 💖
Thats why we can say he is a shadow striker profile, elements of both a 9 and a 10 in his game
He’s only player I have seen with the highest heat map on the pitch.
His no.10 is different.
Vamosss! Finally, video about Atleti. 😆
He played amazingly well against Inter. Damn him! Forza Inter!
Griezman is the best linkup player ive ever seen, asides Bobby Fermino 🔥
I feel Olivier Giroud should also make that list

Pretty incredible that Griezman created a position that already has a name and was created long before he created it 😂😂😂 Raumdeuter
His role actually perfectly describes a number 10

Uno de los futbolistas más infravalorados de su tiempo. Seguro que con el paso de los años, será considerado una leyenda del fútbol francés.
Deserving of a ballon d'or in 2018 but his vote were diluted into Mbappe. Not complaining though, Modric deserved his.
Such a unique player. He is effective in all attacking positions like muller
always liked antoine in dls as a kidnever knew why but this was the answer
Good video. He is an incredible attacking threat.
Paqueta at West Ham also gets a similar role under Moyes, always at the side where the ball is to create numerical superiority
What software are you using to show tactics on the board? Really enjoyed the video and a deeper explanation of Griezmann's off-ball movements!
I'm training a team of U-15s, and I've got a couple of players that I'm goin to try this type of movements with.

Can you do one for cole Palmer?
Yes please
Greizmann is the rightfull heir to Xhaka and Arsenals no 8 role
damn ATM transfer ban, wish i had him at United in 2017
The best player of the last World Cup
He is Atletico Madrid
Rodrygo in Slot 4231 as a 10 behind Núñez will be close to Griezmann.
Athletico is not even a great team but thy provide crucial results
What software do you use for the formation animations? Pretty cool..
Isn't it exactly what Isco was doing under Zidane whilst he was still in the club?
Would love to see Griezmann play with Lewandowski - sadly, it will probably never happen.

Or maybe do a series about the clubs playing next year world cup
I like free role, 1 player per club would be nice
I can be wrong... but is this any different by Muller's "Raumdieter"?
Yes. Müller finds pockets and thinks three passes ahead for himself, Griezmann does both of these things for teammates. It's not a hard line, though.
You know, I don’t think him and Messi on Barcelona would’ve ever worked.
