Barcelona legend believes Griezmann’s problem is his ‘confidence’ | OneFootball

Antoine Griezmann has been struggling ever since arriving at Barcelona. The Frenchman had set the bar high at his former club Atletico Madrid, and his performances at the Catalan club are falling quite below.

Despite his issues at Barcelona, Griezmann is having great performances with the French national team, scoring a goal in the 2-1 win over Croatia in the Nations League. He told that “Deschamps knows where to play me” in the post-match press conference.

However, Barça legend Rivaldo believes that the player’s poor performances is not because of the position he plays in, but rather related to his confidence:

It is key to understand whether the difference in his displays for the two teams is due to positioning, or other factors, and Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman will have the final word regarding the situation.

Even though Griezmann sees himself as a playmaker, that position is already occupied by the one and only Lionel Messi at Barcelona. We will have to wait and see what role Koeman will give him in the upcoming games, with tomorrow’s La Liga game against Getafe as the first test on the list.
