Calendar of FC Barcelona

It did long that we did not see to play like this to Griezmann. Possibly from the day of the 5-2 to the Real Betis in the Camp Nou, in his first big night dressed of Barcelona when annotating two golazos with which led the victory culé. Well, it has had to chain several suplencias consecutive and be criticised until no more is needed nor desired to recover his best level.

This Sunday, to fault of few minutes for the rest, sank to the Villarreal with an authentic golazo of vaselina from out of the area. The French star combined with Leo Messi, the one who gave it back to him of backs so that 'Grizi' no thought it to him: light vaselina that remembered to the one of Messi does a year in Benito Villamarín, brushing the crossbar for colarse in the goal of Asenjo.

First goal of Griezmann 130 days afterwards, taking into account that it still had not seen goal after the confinement and did not annotate from the gone of eighth of Champions League against the Naples in Saint Paolo. A goal, the one who marked this Sunday in the Stadium of the Ceramics, that could mean a before and an afterwards seeing so much his smile like the one of his mates, conscious that they recover to a 'crack' for the cause.

After eight parties without annotating, therefore, Antoine Griezmann grave to the big the criticisms of those who say that it can not fit in this Barça. In a forward with Leo Messi and Luis Suárez, Quique Setién modified slightly the 4-3-3 to centre more the position of the French, just by in front of the Argentinian and by behind the Uruguayan.

Of this form could combine better with both, exerting of bridge and doing what better knows: move to the space and take advantage of the depth, so much to plant assistances for his mates as to receive them in movement, without horizontal passes of by half neither a defence already settled to the edge of the area. Griezmann Played much more freed this time, and the golazo of vaselina definitely will help him to finish to recover the confidence.

Important goals for Griezmann and for the Barça

Almost all the goals of the Frenchman this season 2019-20 have meant points for the club barcelonista: until the one of today, twelve of his goals were to win or for empatar when the team went by behind in the electronic. Nine of the 15 goals of Griezmann in the Barça have been to the first touch, and the others six had been in career, working the driving of balloon.

In this occasion, his fifteenth goal in the rows of the Barça follows him settling like the third maximum scorer of the team, after the 17 of Luis Suárez and the 26 of Leo Messi. Now, the French star puts the sight in the following parties, conscious that it can follow improving even more his provision to give joys to the barcelonismo in shape of titles. If it approaches to the 20 goals in his campaign of debut, adding besides the assistances that accumulates, will not be able to say that his first course in Can Barça have been bad.
