Antoine Griezmann Wants to Assist Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi Immediately

DBasia.news –  Antoine Griezmann has been officially owned by Barcelona. At the session of his first press conference, Griezmann was impatient to provide assists to Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi.

As is known, the Barca player’s dressing room is reportedly split with the arrival of the 28-year-old French striker.

Because last year, Griezmann refused to join Barca and chose to stay at Atletico Madrid by making a short documentary video.

Griezmann also received the same question from the media crew on this matter. Answering casually, Griezmann is confident that he can get the attention of Suarez and Messi with appearances on the green grass.

“Maybe (Messi and Suarez were upset with the Griezmann video last year). We will see it when I have the chance to meet them. Everything can be fixed with assists when competing,” said Griezmann at Sport-English.

Barca bought Griezmann for 120 million euros – a clause on his purchase at Atletico. However, Atletico reportedly did not accept the fee and asked for 200 million euros because Griezmann and Barca reached an agreement before July 1, 2019 – before the purchase clause changed.

Atletico continue to fight. But Griezmann’s current focus is entirely on Barcelona. In fact, the 2018 World Cup champion continues to give praise to La Pulga aka Messi.

“What makes me very happy is being able to share the dressing room and mate (Messi, a typical South American drink),” Griezmann joked.

“I am truly happy, he is number one and a reference for all players. In NBA you have LeBron James, in football you have Messi. He will be a legend for my children and their children. A pleasure to play with him” concluded Griezmann who will wear number 17 at Barca.
