Rivaldo Also compared the situation of the of Macon with the one of Philippe Coutinho, that also arrived like star consecrated and has finish turning into the most disappointing signing of the history of the club. "Of course that Griezmann is very far of his best times in the Athletic of Madrid. Any will begin to think that it goes way to turn into the new Coutinho of the Barcelona. It is a bit risked to do these comparisons right now, but depends on Griezmann callar to his critics with his performance in the lawn", signalled.

The ex barcelonista referred also to Messi and to how for the moment are not him affecting the rotations that is doing Quique Setién. "It happened me to me also. I never wanted to rest. In spite of all this, is responsibility of the trainer manage this situation with your more important player. Setién Has to be brave and remove to Messi of the field if really it thinks that is the best for the team and for the own player", admitted, leaving clear that the santanderino would have to think in the very common.

The one of Recife thinks that if the technician blaugrana does not put some limits, the rosarino goes to want to play it everything of here to final of campaign. "As it was waiting for that it was Messi the one who do him a signal to go out of the field… that expect seated. Messi always will want to play a bit more, do more goals and approach to the Balloon of Gold, that is what has come doing all these years", recognised.

Rivaldo Thinks that it is necessary to have patience with Setién

Finally, the also ex of the Sportive of the Coruña did not want to do blood by the meeting of the Barcelona in front of the Leganés. The Catalans won without shine and with the just, but for him it is necessary to give him time to the team and to Setién. "The truth is that, in spite of the victory in front of the Leganés, the Barcelona did not have a good performance. It is complicated to put now in doubt the method of Setién after the stop. It is normal that was missing rhythm and will need time to recover this form and evaluate with justice the work of the míster", finalised.
