Alain Giresse: "Antoine Griezmann has a trust problem"

One of the big debates that have been able to live with Antoine Griezmann in Barcelona is: which position seats him better to the French attacker? Valverde And Setién planted it the left band and Ronald Koeman, after testing it of leading centre, lately situates it in right band, on foot changed. In the last party with the French selection played of '10', integrating in the medullary line.

The 'Principito' completed a quite correct party in the tie in front of Portugal, although it did not have the offensive presence that remembered him in the World-wide past, in which it went the best player of the tournament. Perhaps, this location help him to participate more in the game and touch more balloons, and although it can participate from this position perfectly, seems that it loses the best of the player Frenchman.

The exjugador French of the years 1970 and 1980, and later, trainer, Alain Giresse, in the news media 'L'Instrument', has wanted to think on the new demarcation of 'Grizi' and considers that this has to , specifically, to a strategy contrived by the seleccionador Didier Deschamps, so that the player contact more with the balloon and improve psychologically.

"The problem is that at present Griezmann suffers a problem of confidence and Didier is putting it here precisely so that it recover this confidence that no longer has. He is playing of number '10' but is not a '10'. Always we have said that it has to play around Giroud, here is where would have to be. It is where played the World-wide with Mbappé in a side and in the another Matuidi".

Where it has to play Antoine Griezmann?

Far to solve the big debate on the position of Griezmann in the field, the last party of the selection only contributed in complicating it even more. Didier Deschamps already has declared, in several occasions, that does not consider that the FC Barcelona was situating to the French near of his zone of activity, a bit more near of the centre of the attack, as it indicates Giresse.

The big problem of the international attacker with his country is that Ronald Koeman only plays with a leading centre. So much the Athletic of Madrid of the Cholo Simeone like the French Selection that won the World-wide of Russia, played with a 4-4-2, that allowed to the 'Principito' occupy the position of second forward, by behind Diego Coast or Oliver Giroud, respectively.
