Lizarazu: “Griezmann's situation is really critical”

Griezmann hurts France. The Frenchman had not played against Ferencvaros and it was expected that it was because Koeman had plans for him in the Classical. And he had them, but on the bench. From his country it is observed as the final affront that Macon lacked to receive at Barcelona. He left Atlético to play alongside Messi and win more titles, but has been relegated to a more than secondary position. His substitution in the Classic has been the last straw and France is already asking him to leave the Barça ship.

“Griezmann is great. He is a very, very good player and he is fantastic for France. But he is not at all for Barcelona. He is a real problem,” Lizarazu told Telefoot. The also world champion with France has no doubts, it is time for Griezmann to think about moving away. “He went to Barcelona with the dream of playing with Lionel Messi, but unfortunately there is no technical relationship between the two, he does not see himself on the field. Griezmann cannot find his position, he can no longer play football with Barça. It is a crisis trustworthy. At some point it is better to cut off your hand than your entire arm. You should not hesitate to leave when if you do not find your place. 18 months have passed, not just two … The situation is really critical“, said the former Bayern and Athletic defender among others.

The opinion of the former French international is not the only one authorized in France about what his star is experiencing. L'Equipe also analyzed his substitution in the Classic as a “disavowal”, confirming the “degradation” of Griezmann at Barcelona at the hands of, for example, a promise like Ansu Fati.
