Atlético de Madrid’s Argentine striker, Julián Álvarez, has highlighted the influence of his teammate Antoine Griezmann on the team’s performance. During the ceremony where he was named Mahou’s Five-Star Player of the Month for November, Álvarez stated that the French forward "makes everyone play better." This praise underscores Griezmann's importance in an Atlético team that is currently enjoying one of its best moments of the season.
Álvarez didn’t hold back in his compliments for the Frenchman, who has been pivotal in the team’s streak of ten consecutive victories across all competitions. "We all know the quality and the leadership Antoine has. Everything he has given to this club and football in general is incredible. It’s a pleasure to play with him. He gives us so much and makes everyone play better," the Argentine expressed, confident that Griezmann will continue to make a difference within the squad.
In addition to his words about Griezmann, Julián also expressed gratitude for the individual recognition he received for his performance in November. For the striker, this kind of award not only boosts his confidence but also confirms he is on the right path. "Although the collective is always the most important, these individual awards help you realize you’re doing things well. Thank you so much to everyone who voted for me," he said.
Álvarez also reflected on the excellent moment Atlético de Madrid is experiencing, assuring that the team is in a very positive dynamic both on and off the pitch. "We’re doing great, with many consecutive victories. Day by day, we also enjoy ourselves a lot, and that’s reflected in the games," said the forward, who has solidified his place as a key player in Diego Simeone’s system.
Looking ahead to the end of this great year, Julián Álvarez expressed his excitement about the two remaining matches for Atlético in this part of the season. He especially emphasized the importance of the final home game, where he hopes to have massive support from the fans. "We want to finish as we’ve been playing. Playing at home, with our fans, is always special. We hope they’ll be there cheering us on, as always, to make it a great game," he said optimistically.
Álvarez’s praise for Griezmann not only highlights the Frenchman’s impact on the team but also the positive atmosphere within Atlético’s locker room. Both players, in top form, are leading a team that seems ready to compete for all its goals this season.
