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. His numbers and the feelings that left the course happened were not neither a lot of less than 'crack' and this is something that has to change.

But there is who thinks that no only will suffice with a change of attitude or an individual improvement of the attacker, since this goes to depend in good part of what do the Dutch technician with him. This is what thinks Didier Deschamps, that pronounced on the case of his compatriot. "When it was a member of the Athletic, the team played for him. Antoine was comfortable and his weight in the game was considerable. Afterwards it did an election, go to the Barcelona. In the Barça all resulted more complicated", began, in an interview for 'France Football'

"Today everything is uncertain and does not know what will happen. It will follow Messi, will not follow... A new trainer can mean different ideas. I expect that it put him in a position in which it can surrender and show all his skills", commented.

Besides, it defended the work of his compatriot and cleared that in any moment has posed give him another paper in France by his low performance in the Barcelona. For him, it did not go his fault and held responsible more to Ernesto Valverde and Quique Setién. "The performance of a footballer depends between other things of the system of game or like the trainers use to the footballers. In any moment imagine me that Antoine lose influence in the selection with the pretext that it was not so effective the past season with the Barça", affirmed.

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.

Deschamps Is not concerned by Griezmann

Finally, it recognised that it will go back to speak with the ex rojiblanco in this concentration of France, but that is not too concerned by his current situation. "I will speak with Griezmann, as I do with the rest of players, all have different feelings in his clubs and of this speak, but do not have any special message that give him. I do not have worries with Antoine", finalised.
