This is a decision that had caused a lot of ink to flow… After five seasons spent at Atlético Madrid, Antoine Griezmann had decided in the summer of 2019 to join FC Barcelona of Lionel Messi. A transfer that turned to the fiasco, the French striker, who will celebrate his 34th birthday on March 21, not being able to make his place in the Catalan eleven.
In Barcelona, Antoine Griezmann was regularly aligned on one side of the attack. A position that is not really the one where it is best expressed. It must be said that in its place, in the axis, evolved a certain Lionel Messi. An important element that the Mâconnais should have taken into account before signing in favor of the Blaugranas, according to Benoît Trémoulinas.
“I don't even understand that at the time Antoine Griezmann wanted to go to Barça”
“If it was a system or alchemy problem?” I think that unfortunately it was just a system problem and I don't even understand that at the time Antoine Griezmann wanted to go to Barça when he knew very well that Messi played this position of false number new. We exiled it on one side and we know very well that on one side, Griezmann is not his best position “Said the former Bordeaux on the L'Equipe channel.
And to continue: ” In Barcelona, on the sides are Neymar, Dembélé, Raphinha, Yamal … These are players who are in percussion, who are in one against one to center behind for their attackers. For me it was just a question of position and we saw it, when he returned to Atlético, it took a few months to get back into the bath and then Simeone replaced him in new false, and strangely it works. Returning to Atlético in 2022, “Grizou” found its best level at the Colchoneros.
