Antoine Griezmann is called to be the most important player of the new FC Barcelona of Ronald Koeman. With the incógnita of what will happen with Leo Messi and knowing that, if it remains , the Argentinian will keep on being the best and goes to give the level, the French has to take a step forward and consolidate like the star that is.

Also it explained to the thread of this that with the French selection always tries to take him out split to the virtues of the of Macon and that has spoken with him in several occasions of his problems in the City Condal. "We speak it... The important is that with me all is clear. Griezmann Knows that role has and how interpret his game. He knows perfectly that, independently of the system of game that can use, put it in the best possible conditions", admitted.

I do not have worries with Antoine", finalised.
