Clement Lenglet Discusses Antoine Griezmann’s Performance in Barcelona

DBasia.news –  Antoine Griezmann’s performance in Barcelona is still being discussed today. It was also commented on by his compatriot and Barcelona defender, Clement Lenglet.

Griezmann moved to Barcelona from Atletico Madrid in the transfer market last summer. Azulgrana brought him in with a value of 120 million euros (Rp 1.8 trillion).

The 28-year-old’s performance has so far been unstable. He only contributed four goals and three assists in 15 appearances. Lenglet also defended his colleague in the French national team.

“It’s not easy to adapt to a club like Barcelona. “Some players are already there and have a history together,” Lenglet said at Soccerway.

“Like in the French national team, there is a very specific way of playing, how our position is different from what Antoine knows at Atletico, where he started from afar. You need time to adapt to feel better on the pitch and play your best. “

“In Barcelona, ​​we try to recover the ball as high as possible on the field with a lot of effort at a distance of 20 to 30 meters. With Atletico, it’s a little different, they retreat back, and that is 50 to 60 meters, so you have to learn it, you need time. “

“Physically it’s different, and mentally too, you have to get ready. Antoine does it every day during training, and it will get better and better during the competition, I’m sure of that, “Lenglet added.
