With an outstanding victory on his MLS debut, Antoine Griezmann has finally arrived to try and turn the situation for Orlando City.
Not only did his team secure a commanding 4-0 victory, but the Principito also found the net, marking a seamless transition into the league.
Even though he had a rough start, Griezmann made himself familiar as the minutes against the Quake went by.
Now, Orlando City will face the current powerhouse of the Eastern Conference: Nashville SC. So we have to find out whether or not Griezmann is starting tonight against the Boys in Gold. I like the odds.
Is Antoine Griezmann playing tonight for Orlando City against Nashville SC?
Antoine Griezmann is about to face one of his toughest tests of the second half of the season, making Le Petit Prince's presence in the starting lineup a huge boost that the Lions cannot overlook.
Nashville has been one of the best teams in MLS alongside the Vancouver Whitecaps. However, it remains to be seen how the Boys in Gold will handle a player with Grizzi's qualities.
So yes, no information indicates that Antoine Griezmann won’t be in the starting lineup tonight against Nashville SC.
The former offensive player of Atletico Madrid is expected to partner with Ellis up front. That gives Orlando City two possible tactical setups: either a 4-4-2, or a 4-2-3-1 with Griezmann operating as the link between the midfield and the striker.
Everyone knows what the Boys in Gold can offer to this matchup. However, the Grizzi factor, floating behind the midfielders and in front of the defenders, would be an aspect that could benefit Orlando City’s game.
Can Orlando City pull off an upset against powerhouse Nashville SC and climb out of the bottom of the standings?
Based on what we've seen so far, Griezmann's influence has already helped lift this team, especially against a tough opponent like the San Jose Earthquakes.
