MADRID (Reuters) - Atletico Madrid need to focus all their attention on getting an inconsistent Antoine Griezmann firing again as they prepare to meet bitter rivals Real Madrid on Saturday, former goalkeeper and coach Abel Resino has told Reuters.

Griezmann, Atletico's top marksman for the last three seasons, has gone 596 minutes without scoring in all competitions for his club and had to face the ignominy of being substituted in the last league outing against Deportivo La Coruna, when his side were still chasing a winning goal.
