Atletico Madrid attacker Griezmann: I owe everything to Simeone

Atletico Madrid attacker Antoine Griezmann has again spoken of the influence of coach Diego Simeone on his game.

Griezmann believes he wouldn't be the player he is without Simeone.

"He has brought so many things to my game that it is difficult to start saying what they are. Let us say that I would not have been considered as one of the best players in the world if it were not for him," said the Frenchman.

"He has helped me to be more effective facing the goal, to take advantage of all the possibilities that come to me and, of course, to run and work hard for the team. You can not be at Atletico if you don't."

He added: "Personally I am very happy, and in terms of football, we are about to move to a new stadium, which is very important, we will only have to see what the future brings, but for now I'm very happy here and I hope to win trophies with this club."
