Brother slams Atletico Madrid boss Simeone over treatment of Man Utd target Griezmann

The brother of Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann has slammed coach Diego Simeone.

Theo Griezmann, a huge Manchester United fan, attacked Simeone's tactics after seeing Antoine hooked during victory over Deportivo La Coruna.

Atletico's winner only came after Griezmann's substitution.

In a series of tweets, Theo wrote: "We go forward 40 metres, then recede 80. This is normal. I don't understand. Antoine is playing as a six."

The following read: "I feel like I am reliving the same match."

And finally, he claimed his brother is being restricted by Simeone's style, posting: "Griezmann can't create chances if he doesn't have the ball."
