Griezmann presses the 'On'

Although last year already had a moment, precisely around this time, in which Griezmann began to look like the real Griezmann, the world champion player who has tried unsuccessfully to eat at Messi and Cristiano's table but has played at a higher level, the Frenchman has hit the 'On' button again in recent weeks. Five goals and two assists in the last seven games confirm his good moment, although they do not erase his terrible image in Wanda in a game that was key for Barça and from which he disappeared without explanation.

Already in December 2019, Griezmann gave signs of his quality. He scored against Dortmund in the Champions League (November 27); and Mallorca, Real and Alavés in LaLiga in December. In January, he saved Barça in Ibiza in the Cup and was able to get them into the final of the Super Cup in Arabia. He also scored a goal for hope in Naples in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16. But surprisingly, when it seemed that he was already curdling as a signing and a top player at Barça, he pressed the 'Off' button and disappeared. He scored two goals in the entire second round of LaLiga, disappeared in the Champions League (like everyone else) and in the Cup he missed a sung goal on Wednesday the day of the elimination of San Mamés, where he caught a good warmth for the substitution.

The season had started crooked for Griezmann. After Messi's burofax, it was hinted that Koeman would give him the sheriff star on the team. But finally the Argentine continued and, again, Griezmann seemed to be in no man's land. No goals, no place and with his unruly environment every time he left to play for France. You know, Messi's “regime of terror”; according to his athletic father, Eric Olhats.

Be that as it may, Griezmann in recent games has been more active. It may not have to do with any kind of release, but at least it's been plugged into the game. So he scored in Kiev with the party already sentenced, even though he had been a substitute; that's why he was confident of impaling that fantastic volley against Osasuna; And that's why, grown up, he played it with that fine heel shot, so his, that he opened the can against Ferencvaros. Griezmann is better. At least it generates better feelings. You can see him smiling, celebrating goals with extra prominence, Travis Kelce style, and it is also said that he has partly found his place on the field. As if he recognized himself now. He wants to succeed, but Barça is a daily test and he continues. Especially until a player wins chevrons with titles. Something like what happened to Rakitic after removing Xavi from the eleven. What was suspicion at first turned into recognition.
