He's brought so many things to my game that it's hard to even begin to say what they are. “Let's just say that I wouldn't have been regarded as one of the best players in the world if it weren't for him."More than anything he's helped me to be more effective in front of goal, to take every chance that comes my way, and, of course, to run and run and work hard for the team. You can't make it at Atletico if you don't do that." While the speculation regarding his future rages around him, Griezmann has sought to ignore the rumours and remain focused on his football.He is not about to waver in that stance, with no thought being given to moving on as Atletico prepare to enter an exciting new era in their history. Griezmann added: "On a personal level I'm very happy, and in football terms we're about to move to a new stadium, which is very important.“We'll just have to see what the future brings, but for now I'm very happy here and I hope to win trophies with this club."</blockquote>
