Calendar of FC Barcelona

Antoine Griezmann has been in the eye of the hurricane since it signed his traspaso to the FC Barcelonto. The high price of his clause of rescission (120 million euros) to go out of the Atleti, his discomfort in the beginning of his stage like culé, in the changing room and in the field, his alarming figures goleadoras and the fault of shine and precision when it launched to the attack caused that the start of the French in the Camp Npu went of everything, less sencilllo.

To 'Grizzie' criticised him from the beginning, mainly, by his little presence in the offensive and difficulty to define. Although it always has been very participatory in the recovery of balloons and help constantly in the defence, in addition to supporting to his mates in the forward, in the breast of the barcelonismo his figure was very discussed because, to final of accounts, the Barça there was him fichado so that it went a machine to put goals, as it went it in his step in the Athletic of Madrid and is it with France.

And it is that the 'Principito' did not feel comfortable with his position, had not settled in the changing room and was missing him feel the Barcelona shield, but already is it achieving and his performances show it. In front of the Villarreal, went the greater proof, but no the only. It annotated a doublet, with phenomenal definitions, in a party that the Barça began losing after the goal of Chukwueze. The reaction of the culés, especially of Mingueza and Griezmann, was immediate and andl marker went back to remain in tables 87 seconds after the so much of the 'groguets'.

Without hiding , went back to the attack and finished a played of pure forward to sign the traced back of the Barça. It did with the balloon that left Foyth in a monumental error of the player of the Villarreal, read the space that had left Asenjo and defined, without complicating , with strength and determination to leave the certainty that, when it is comfortable and inspired, fall him the goals. Some days before, in front of the Getafe, caused a penal and earned it he same.

In the final of the Glass of Rey, besides, opened the 'tin' for the Barcelona in the second part, signing three consecutive parties marking for the Barça, a challenge that achieves for the first time since it arrived to the City Condal, in the summer of 2019, pertinent of the Athletic of Madrid.

The key in the 'Case Griezmann'

The true is that the improvement of the 'Principito' in the last month has been extraordinary and goes tied with the fact that it has assumed that, unlike what happened in the Athletic, in the Barça does not have the role protagónico main. However, this has carried him to shine from the discresión and appearing in important moments, for example, when Leo Messi does not have his best apparition, as it was the case in The Ceramics.

His 'takeoff' in the Barcelona group podría relieve the intentions that would have the club to put him in the market, remembering that from does months has informed that Joan Laporta thinks in Griezmann like an important piece to do box to cover, for example, the traspaso wished by the Barça, of Erling Haaland.
