The relationship between Griezmann and Messi is on the way to tense up even more. “The Chiringuito de Jugones” has published a fragment of a documentary broadcast in France in which the French footballer's uncle talks about Griezmann's first months in Barcelona and criticizes the Argentine's command at Can Barça: “I was convinced that he was not going to be successful in the first six months, but what I did not expect is that it would last a year. with Messi I know what goes on inside. Is not easy. So what is going on inside? There are things that cannot always be said, basically at Barça it is not locked enough and basically the training sessions are made to please certain people. So clearly if it doesn't work. Antoine needs to work although some people do not need a lot of effort to be well. Griezmann is the other way around, he needs a lot of effort to be well “.
These statements add fuel to the fire has fueled this Tuesday by Eric Olhats, former agent and discoverer of Griezmann, in France Football: “Antoine came to a club where Messi has his sights on everything. He is both emperor and monarch and did not welcome Antoine's arrival. His attitude has been deplorable and made him feel bad. I've always heard Griezmann say that with Messi he had no problem, but never the other way around. It is the regime of terror. Either you are with him or you are against him “.
Griezmann He reviewed his career after the friendly match in which he lost to France against Finland: “I am proud of what I am doing. It is true that the beginning was difficult. I left when I was 13 years old. I am happy to play football. It helped me go through the Real and Atlético to be the footballer that I am. I take advantage of it. I'm happy to play football. “
The relationship between Messi Y Griezmann He was improving since September when the Frenchman assured: “With Messi everything will go better” and days later Barça's '10' gave Griezmann a penalty. It remains to be seen how the new statements feel in a strained relationship within the Barça dressing room.
