Antoine Griezmann

[Laplacian]

the role changed anyway. most of the ones you mentioned and even griezmann himself, are winger-forwards. it's not like the classical winger that bombed on the flank and sent deadly crosses into the box. now you have to cut inside, combine and even switch positions with the striker, score goals.

You need take on ability to cut inside and score goals. He can't fucking beat his man.

The crucial difference is that his role was not of a 10 in an attacking team that would try to break down and open up parked buses (that's why I say the position is not exactly the same). And that changes a lot.
This is reflected in his skill set and what he can or cannot do during a game: he can press well, he can steal balls, he can find himself in the right position, make the right move in the box, and in generally 'read' space well. He CANNOT dribble, beat an opponent, create space for himself when on the ball, penetrate defenses with his passes.
That skillset is suited for teams that sit back and play on the counter, and that's what both Atleti and France NT do..
.

You explained it better than I ever could. That's what I see in him as well. Like how many braindead board members did they need to sanction this 120m euro transfer. I still cannot believe this transaction happened.

Of course, the question is WHO ON FUCKING EARTH assessing that kind of skill set thought he would be a good fit for a team that wants to attack and open up defenses 85% of the time to say the least? And the sad answer is that there is NO department that oversees player recruitment in the club.

From what i remember reading there wore people in Barca's technical or transfer department who didn't agree with the signing (and who probably made similar objections like you did) but Bartomeu pushed the transfer through.

Great strike. Smashed that.

 

[Andresito]

Aaand destroyed a clear counter attack with a horrible pass that even Dembele would've envied.

 

[serghei]

What a goal.

 

[magicomessi]

Hopefully it?s his last season ... buying him was a big mistake specially after he did the before that ....

 

[Katarina1]

🗣 ? Griezmann (after victory with his National team): ?This coach knows where to play me. I take advantage of this situation, this place, the confidence that the coach gives me and my teammates."

Shut up dumbass

 

[mc_lovin]

He got quite toxic. And its not like he was a worldbeater for France ;D Hopefully that makes it easier for Koeman to bench him.

Shut up dumbass

does this cunt expect us to move the GOAT to another position just for a pleb like him ?



smh dawgs

 

[Rory]

Didn't he score from the result of a corner which rebounded to him? Good finish of course but you could be playing as a centre back and get that sort of chance off a corner/rebound. Who knew the guy who made la decision would be a pain in the ass with the media??

And then you realise he is talking about Deschamp- or the Magic School Bus.

You never really can tell with intellects like Griezmann.
