"With all respect, Griezmann is not a traditional extreme, by what it is necessary to interpret it in his own position, in a paper that adapt to him and where can show his skills. You have to know to your players like trainer and ensure you to take out the best of them". These were the first words that Ronald Koeman said on Antoine Griezmann that goes to be key and indisputable in his FC Barcelona this season.
The forward arrived to the Camp Nou does more than a year to be the second sword of Leo Messi, but defrauded in this paper and was not to the height of the expectations that raised. His position in the field has been one of the subjects that more discussion has generated this past campaign. The left band is not done for him and his ideal place is the one of second forward, something that the new Barcelona technician seems to have seen at all more arrive.
In fact, as it has informed the newspaper 'L'Instrument' in his edition of this Thursday, the Dutch trainer left him clear to the French that goes to be vital in his new Barça. Both held a conversation does some days and the Dutch insisted in his purpose to recover him for the cause. "You did it in the Athletic and will do it in the Barça", commented literally the one of Zaandam to the of Macon in the talk that had with him as it aims the known half.
Koeman Promised him to Griezmann a change of position to be able to take him out more party. The ex seleccionador of Holland cleared that he does not see him in band and that goes to look for improve his virtues like second tip. It wants to give him more freedom of movements and pretends that it was more star of what has been up to now. Besides, the possible exit of Leo Messi, that has pillado by surprise to all the world, does that the ex rojiblanco was even more important.
When the hero of the first Champions League of the Barcelona gathered with the Frenchman still did not know that the rosarino had decided to leave of the Barça. It can that if already it had known it, the míster would have insisted even more in the fact that it wants to that it was one of the leaders of the team. Without Leo and probably without Luis Suárez, the reality is that 'Grizzy' has to be the big referent of the attack culé to fault of some signing of relumbrón.
Griezmann Wants to recover the '7'
Besides, in the mentioned half French signalled that the forward showed his wish to recover the dorsal '7' that has carried good part of his career. It carried it in the Real Sociedad during several years, in France from does enough and in the Athletic from the first day. In the Barça this number was of Philippe Coutinho when it arrived and when the Brazilian went to the Bayern of Munich did not want to change it, but now yes wishes to do it. It can that this change and the confidence of Koeman do that at last it begin to see to the Griezmann winning, decisive and brilliant that fichó the Barcelona in 2019.
