Jorge Valdano advised Antoine to attempt a backheel finish after receiving a cross in the box – and that’s exactly what he did against Ferencvaros.
“There are two theories, one is that the interview freed him and the other is that it changed his luck. Please don’t underestimate me!” Jorge Valdano wrote for El Pais, referring to THAT interview Antoine Griezmann gave to him 10 days ago.
Valdano explained: “What really happened is that I told him some things before we spoke.”
Here are 3 crucial pieces of advice Valdano offered the French striker:
- If you receive the ball in the area, stop it with the right and hit it with the left.
- If you’re outside the area and the ball falls from the sky, volley it.
- If you are at the front post for a cross, solve it with a backheel.
Griezmann has scored 3 goals in the last 3 games, including an exquisite backheel golazo against Ferencvaros. Apparently, he’s listened to Valdano.
