Antoine Griezmann needs to begin to 'speak' in the field

There are parties that win by played individual, by moments of 'grace' of a footballer and this know it in the FC Barcelona after the stage of Leo Messi comandando the team and defining by himself same, those that times wanted to, the clashes. Of there that, although the collective effectiveness is the north of the ones of Ronald Koeman, was key that the stars that have remained in the team are able of 'resolve' when collectively they do not find gone out to decant the result in favour.

In Saint Mamés was Memphis, with a golazo spectacular, in addition to a Frenkie of Jong that 'command' in the field, defensive and ofensivamente. The two Dutch were the points diferenciadores of a Barça with a lot of shadows and few lights, that leaves in the focus to several players, especially Antoine Griezmann, the one who in front of the 'lions' showed that it has not put the layer of leader that so much expects . The French was unimportant in the field and, far of what showed against the Real Sociedad (was very active), in front of the bilbaínos was one of the most discussed.

To Griezmann no can him argue his commitment in the field neither his win to help to the team, but his performance yes. Has the pressure in his against, because it expects too much of him, with a lot of reason. It is the big star of the team, by his path and because it is the second more expensive signing of the history of the club (by behind Philippe Coutinho), in addition to that it is the one who more earns, with difference, by year. Reasons 'moved away' of the sportive, maybe, but that have a lot of weight.

To this it is necessary to add him that, with the exit of Leo Messi, the 'Principito' is called to get dressed of leader. Before it argued that it did not find place, that was conditioned by the 'freedom' of the Argentinian in the field... Now it has all these 'eases' in the terrain and follows without being the player that expects the Barça, further of his associations. So raw as it can be, in the Barcelona group the fans expect that it was a goleador and, for the moment, has not showed it. It has not premièred in League and neither marked in the pre-season.

Griezmann Has to assume his new role

"I have to take more leadership", said Griezmann after the party in Saint Mamés, always giving the face (in the good and the bad). "I try to help to the team, already was in attack or in defence, although the things sometimes do not go out like one wants to", finished saying. The true is that it knows what has to do, but... What is what lacking so that it achieve it? That assume definitively sue new role?

In any case, has to apurarse. It goes to be indisputable headline, of this there is not doubt, but has to 'wake up' and speak in the field because, if this follows as it goes, will finish happening to be the partner of Leo Messi to now be the one of Memphis Depay, when it is more than clear that he has to be the new offensive engine of the team directed by Ronald Koeman.
