“What did Antoine Griezmann do? I understand it. He has been there (Atletico Madrid) for several years and wants something new,” explained Filipe Luis as Marca reported.
“He gave Atletico a lot and returned everything he had invested in the club. Being in the same place for a long time and giving comfort and no more motivation. So, we all understand him and remember well.”
Filipe Luis also denied that Antoine Griezmann did not enjoy playing at Atletico Madrid. The Los Rojiblancos players seemed unhappy when losing.
“We did not enjoy it when we didn’t win, it hurts. However, I am very happy to play for Atletico Madrid,” stated the player.
