Arsène Wenger, former Arsenal manager, spoke of Antoine Griezmann in his last television speech. The Frenchman made it clear what he thinks of the situation of his compatriot
The situation of Antoine Griezmann in the FC Barcelona does not go to better and the French follows being in looks it of all his detractores. The forward has not marked in any of the four parties that has played with the Barça this campaign and is being so irrelevant like the past course. Besides, as they leave clear his numbers, is little hit of face to door and the few opportunities that has had has failed them.
In case it was little, the one of Macon complained of his position in the group barcelonista, where Ronald Koeman is putting him in right band. This debate is still in the air and there is who thinks that in this side never will be of the all comfortable. Arsène Wenger, ex trainer of the Arsenal, spoke precismante of this in his intervention in a program futbolístico of 'BeIn Sports'.
The French ensured that his compatriot surrenders more in the centre, but that in the Barcelona this zone is property of Leo Messi, something that complicates it everything. "It is a player that has to play in the centre because has a big activity, a precision in his actions, can be dangerous in the last pass, marks goals... But there is congestion in this zone because it is the zone by which moves Leo Messi", affirmed.
The '10' Barcelona does better that Griezmann almost all and is very upper futbolísticamente speaking, by what there is not doubt of who has to be by on. This is a problem for the ex of the Athletic of Madrid, that then has to displace to a band in which it does not feel neither comfortable neither important. The international 'bleu' does not take part all what would owe from there and notices him desconectado in a lot of occasions.
Against the Getafe, nevertheless, Koeman decided to content to Antoine and put him of 'false 9', throwing to Messi to the right. But not even this experiment served to resurrect him, since his meeting went back to be disappointing. The '7' did not do big thing and besides failed the clearest occasion that had the Barcelona in the crash. After this performance, did not play against the Ferencvaros and is for seeing if it is headline in front of the Real Madrid in the Classical.
Wenger, pessimistic with Griezmann
To finalise, Wenger left clear that is not too optimistic regarding that the one of Macon recover the smile if it follows playing out of place. "Not playing in his place is complicated on a long-term basis. At the beginning, the boy accepts it, but if it does not fulfil with his needs on a long-term basis and tiene the impression that the place that occupies does not allow him express his best qualities, will dismay ", concluded.
