Juanfran throws support behind Antoine Griezmann

Atletico Madrid defender Juanfran insists that "everybody" supports Antoine Griezmann amid a barren run in front of goal for the France international.

Atletico Madrid defender Juanfran has insisted that "everybody" supports Antoine Griezmann amid a barren run in front of goal for the France international.

Griezmann has not scored for Atletico since the end of September, and has only managed two goals in nine league appearances for the Madrid giants during the 2017-18 campaign.

The 26-year-old was substituted during Saturday's 1-0 win over Deportivo La Coruna, but Juanfran has insisted that the whole Atletico squad are still behind the forward.

"Griezmann? He is an extremely important player for us, and we are all behind him," Diario AS quotes Juanfran as saying.

"We all adore him and have total faith in him. Any decision taken by the coach is one we accept, it doesn't matter which players are involved. He acts with the team in mind and Griezmann should be calm because everybody here supports him."

Atletico are currently fourth in La Liga after 11 matches of the 2017-18 campaign - level on points (23) with third-placed Real Madrid.
