Griezmann Did not show in the field the 100 millions that went to pay the Barcelona

Although there is not doubt that Antoine Griezmann is a 'jugadorazo', the reality is that this season 2018-19 are not him going the things as it expected. The big star of the Athletic of Madrid went back to remain to zero, once again, against the team to the that refused the past summer not to be to the shadow of Leo Messi and be the main reference of the group 'colchonero', that went up him the wage and practically begged him that it remained .

Griezmann Accessed to the súplicas and, seeing the performance that is showing the French in this first third of campaign, can that at the end it was beneficial for all the parts 'The Decision' final of the French star. Griezmann Had a clause of 100 million euros and the FC Barcelona could have it executed, but to last hour the Frenchman threw backwards and, on the quiet, recorded a documentary with which gave 'pumpkins' to the culés.

This Saturday, in the first duel that played since against the FC Barcelona, the Frenchman showed rather discreet. It was Diego Coast the one who resolved the ballot with a big finish of head, when advancing to Rafinha in the second stick and cause also a semi-error of Ter Stegen, that was not of the all hit in the played and remained to half exit.

Independently of the party of this Saturday, and throwing an ojeada to the results of the first third of the season, exist doubts on if Griezmann hit in his decision to follow dressing of rojiblanco. His numbers with the Athletic of Madrid are being very discreet in LaLiga Santander 2018-19, with hardly three goals and four assistances in 13 parties, although in Champions League has achieved to annotate three targets in the four first days of the phase of groups.

The Athletic of Madrid leaves at present like second qualifier in the group of the Borussia Dortmund, leader, whereas in LaLiga continues to rebufo of a Barça that has to a point of distance in the classification. No, the Athletic is not showing of the all dominant in this first third of the campaign, and the things neither are him going of wonder to Griezmann in the individual plane.

The FC Barcelona did not need to Griezmann

Seeing the problems of injuries that have given lately in the Barça, is possible that Griezmann had gone out benefited in the case of fichar by the FC Barcelona, a club that is used to to explode the individual numbers of all the 'cracks' that play at the side of Leo Messi.

However, it took the decision to remain in the Athletic of Madrid and, for now, his shine is less powerful that the one of the past campaign. It will achieve to remedy it in the two following thirds of the season? We will know it with the step of the months. But if something is not him being missing in what it goes of course, definitely, is goal and offensive potential. His signing was not of the all necessary, and besides would have covered the progression of Dembélé.
