Griezmann returns to perform: the keys to change

Everything seems to indicate that Antoine Griezmann has returned. The new system implemented by Ronald Koeman in the FC Barcelona has benefited and has taken them out the greater benefit to varied of his players, between them the French. It did not find place in the eleven when the technician decanted by the 3-5-2, but in the last commitments, the retouching to situate to Ousmane Dembélé of '9' and leave the lanes as of a motorway to Sergiño Dest and Jordi Alba, has allowed to fit to the 'Principito' centred and with freedom in attack.

To Griezmann seats him well the new paper that is exerting in the team. A position and a sweet moment that is prolonging these days with France. It marked a golazo to Ukraine, the 34 as 'bleu', equalising to Trezeguet and situates now only by behind Platini, Giroud and 'Titi' Henry. The '7' Frenchman luce with his national selection, and does it to a more special the paper that has exerted with the Barça in the last commitments.

Persistence and commitment

Anybody never has denied him his capacity of work and sacrifice, but to a forward of the Barça, even more considering his quality, it was necessary to demand him more. And the Griezmann of today is a footballer that has multiplied his participation in the game of the team. Stood out in the statistics of passes completed, when in the global of all his parties is of 39 by game, and if they analyse his last three participations in which it has had greater incidence, adds an average of 53 (55 in front of the PSG, 51 in front of the Huesca and 52 against the Real Sociedad). And if to this adds him his last participation with France, the average goes up to 57, as it delivered 69 good passes in front of the Ukrainians.

Efficiency of face to the rival arch

Of course, to Griezmann presupposes him the goal, and of by yes in the Barça sues him a greater capacity realizadora. One of the appearances that attribute him is that it requires of a lot of opportunities to mark and that his ratio of goals by minutes played does not correspond to the own quality of a champion of the world. Antoine celebrates a goal each 124 minutes, what equivale to almost three parties and half, but also has improved of remarkable way in this appearance.

In the three last meetings, the one who has had, has nailed them. Like this sucedió in front of the Huesca in the Camp Nou, a golazo from out of the area, and in Anoeta, in front of his ex team, a sample to know the ideal place where has to be a 'killer', to the threaten of any refuse of the put rival. Also it followed suit with the selection gala: a shot to door and a golazo incredible. Although, with the utilisation of the technology VAR would have been cancelled.

Goals that open the marker

In his first season with the Barça, Griezmann annotated 15 goals in 48 parties and 3.500 minutes. A poor average. In the current season, also has cost him, but with 11 commitments by in front (ten of League and the final of the Glass of Rey) already is to only a goal to equalise this mark. Up to now it adds 14 targets, and finish to surpass the border of the 3.000 minutes in 40 meetings played.

It is important to highlight that the 'Principito' specialised from the beginning in opening the marker. It is other say that they have been key goals, especially when the rival weighs him the result against. The previous season did it in six occasions. In the 2020-2021 solo has inaugurated the marker in a pair of opportunities, in the Champions League in feudo of the Ferencvaros (0-3 final) and in LaLiga in Granada (0-4). This last was at the beginning of year, but the past Sunday in front of 'his' Real Sociedad did him honour to this 'tradition'. The Barça attained to mark six goals, but until the target of Griezmann the party did not result simple. With his so much, began the feast.

Repartidor Of assistances

Griezmann Has surpassed widely the registers of the past campaign in the chapter of the assistances. Only it gave four passes to goal in his first year, and in the present already accumulates eleven. Seven more than a season to another, and safe that will add more. Even, already it surpassed the 10 that delivered in his last participation in the Athletic of Madrid.

It has connected with until seven distinct footballers. The one who more has received the assistances of the 'Principito' has been Lionel Messi, with four, what reveals a good understanding. Jordi Alba follows him with two, one to Dembélé, Coutinho, Junior, Hammered and Frenkie of Jong. Like this then , Antoine has improved to the pair of the team and also thanks to the profits of the new system. It seems to be recovered for the Barcelona cause, all expect that it continue in promotion.
