Great performance of Griezmann against the Juventus

After two suplencias consecutive in front of Ferencvaros and Real Madrid, Antoine Griezmann returned to the titularity this Wednesday thank you, in good measure, to the injury of Philippe Coutinho that it allowed him have fit in the eleven. Ronald Koeman decided to bet by the French to situate him in the usual position of 'Cou', the one of mediapunta, doing so the Frenchman played much more centred that in other occasions.

That it played, in definite, as it does it in France to the orders of Didier Deschamps, or as it did it in the Athletic of the 'Cholo' Simeone. The effect to plant him here has been immediate, taking into account that 'Grizi' played in front of the Juventus the best party of the season 2020-21, to date, with the T-shirt of the Barça. It remained without marking and follows lacking of puntería, but to level asociativo and of wear was definitely his best performance.

To the attacker French saw him how and incisive, combining of fluent form with Leo Messi, Pedri and Dembélé in the front of attack. It wore out also in defence and in the recovery after loss, and so much with balloon as without him showed dangerous of face to the contrary goal. Before the five first minutes of game already had stamped a shot to the wood, in what definitely it would have been one of the golazos of the day to having gone in.

Before finishing the first time was again near of the goal in a triple occasion of the Barça, with Dembélé and Pedri of by half, whereas in the second half a shot raso and crusader left went by very little, when the rest of his mates already sang the goal. It was a glorious played of contragolpe in which the French remained only, something escorado leftwards, and ready was to see door.

Turning point for Griezmann?

Without need to mark, assist or cause any penalti, Griezmann played a big party contributing with his granite of sand to that the FC Barcelona carried the three points of the Allianz Stadium. Surely the most complete meeting of Griezmann this season 2020-21, and an opportunity to take confidence of face to the challenges that arrive in the calendar.

With Philippe Coutinho lesionado still during several weeks, Griezmann probably will follow having opportunities splitting from the eleven headline. Koeman Could have found the definite position for him, the one of mediapunta. And Coutinho, when it recover , will add more competition to the place or will be able to occupy position in left band, when having played here in several occasions.
