Recruited for 120 million euros last summer, Antoine Griezmann is only a shadow of the former player of Atletico Madrid.
The forced break due to the pandemic coronavirus have not had miraculous effects for Antoine Griezmann. If the Barça is shown to its advantage on Saturday, with the key being a wide success (4-0) on the lawn of Mallorca, the world champion habs made a new copy without the burst, confirming its major challenges since his arrival in Catalonia.
Recruited to 120 million euros, the French went on to benefits of any kind. To such A point that its status as a holder falters again. Ousmane Dembélé is certainly always on the side but Luis Suarez is back and Martin Braithwaite, who scored on Saturday, did nothing wrong. Present at the press conference, Quique Setien has reinforced the Maçonnais. “Griezmann was indisputable. It is a great player, and we rely on him, and nothing changes. It will continue to get game time because he is very important for the team and for the club“, he explained, taking however worth adding: “After that, there are also other players that we need to use.”
The adventure of Antoine Griezmann at the Blaugrana thus turns into a fiasco, and the reasons for this are obviously many. The distrust of the players barcelona in his regard, as a result of his flip-flopping in the summer of 2018 and the staging of his ” Decision “, has obviously hampered his integration and is probably not for nothing in the lack of complicity between the old Madrid and its accomplices Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.
But if Antoine Griezmann is suffering at Barça, this is of course in the first place due to its positioning. While at Atletico Madrid, the Habs had the habit to evolve in the axe and be the custodian of the game, he must be content with a role as a winger since his arrival at the champions of Spain. His statistics in the face of Mallorca are also famished with 55 balloons affected, which makes the holder to have been the least requested. Necessarily concern for the one who would finally make us forget Neymar. If his defensive activity is obviously a boon for Barcelona, his lack of weight in the attack appears to be prohibitive in the medium term and laying inévitablementb the question of his future with the Blaugrana.
