While FC Barcelona seemed to be considering an extension of Antoine Griezmann’s contract, his sporting situation could prompt the leaders to review their position. Failing to make his hole at Barça, the French would only have a few weeks to reverse the trend in a club that he should not have joined according to Pierre Ménès.

Antoine Griezmann seems to be nothing more than the shadow of himself. Considered one of the most complete and decisive offensive players in Liga at theAtletico de Madrid, the tricolor world champion came to FC Barcelona in the summer of 2019 to show that he could succeed in one of the best clubs in the world. A little over a year after this decision, Griezmann may well have lost its luster. Whether at FC Barcelona or in Team of France, the Frenchman is groping and even finds himself in an impasse as Pierre Ménès pointed out on the Canal Football Club Sunday night. “Of course Griezmann is deadlocked, and it does not date from these two games. It dates from last season. We’re also going to have to stop pitying her, it’s also a bit of her fault. With the level he has, he will have to manage, whatever the position he is entrusted with, to show a little something. There he was not playing, but even when he was playing he was showing nothing. It is very problematic. And when I see how Koeman builds his team, where do you want him to play? If Barca were the right choice for him? Of course not. That he does not shine at Barça, somewhere, we do not care. What matters to us is that it contaminates the French team because the last seven eight performances of Griezmann oscillate between insufficient, mediocre, or even bad ”. How to reverse the trend? Antoine Griezmann would have two chances to make everyone lie.

A few weeks to prove

After the defeat of FC Barcelona face au Real Madrid at Camp Nou Saturday (1-3), Philippe Coutinho has contracted an injury that may cause him to miss several games and possibly three weeks of competition depending on The four. These weeks in question would be, according to The team, the length of time that the management FC Barcelona would leave it to his striker to prove to him that he can still be the man for the job at the Barça. If not, then his case would be scrutinized. While a contract extension seemed to be in the pipeline, everything could go very quickly, but the other way around for Antoine Griezmann.
