Atlético de Madrid will start a season that is expected to be very exciting in the next few hours. The team managed by Diego Pablo Simeone travels to Castellón to face Villarreal, a solid club. Against Marcelino's men, the Colchoneros want to start the new season in the best possible way.
Alexander Sorloth and his morbid debut with Atlético de Madrid to compete with Griezmann
The Norwegian, by the way, the first of this nationality in the Metropolitano club, will have a curious debut. After having become one of the revelations of the season in the last EA Sports LaLiga, he returns 'home'. He does so as the '9' of an Atlético de Madrid that aspires to continue growing.
The former Real Sociedad player scored 23 goals in the yellow shirt, which allowed him to fight until the end for the 'Pichichi'. He came very close, as it was Artem Dovbyk, another of the great red-and-white targets, who took home the trophy. Despite this, he has not been discouraged and dreams of achieving this goal... as an Atlético fan.
Griezmann, in the spotlight to recover his best version
Meanwhile, we must not forget Antoine Griezmann, who has a clear goal for this new season. That is none other than to recover his best form, the one he lost in the final stretch of last season. After not being a regular with France at the European Championship and not participating in the Olympic Games, he wants revenge.
Alexander Sorloth, facing the challenge of improving and surpassing Griezmann
With the Frenchman as the clear starter, it remains to be seen what role Alexander Sorloth will play, as he has competition. Not in vain, Atlético de Madrid recently acquired the services of Julián Álvarez for their forward line. One of the best in the world will form part of a top-class attacking line.
Antoine Griezmann has some very reliable players to help him face a season that is expected to be very demanding. The French striker cannot let up, as everyone is eager to take his place, even though it is vital for his coach. Therefore, we will have to keep an eye on what happens in a very delicate position.
