Griezmann lacks goals, this is what the French coach says

By db-admin

DBasia.news – Antoine Griezmann scored minimal goals during his loan spell at Atletico Madrid from Barcelona in the 2021/22 season. Last season, the 31-year-old scored just eight goals and seven assists for Los Rojiblancos in all competitions, which is bad enough for a striker.

Meanwhile, in this year’s UEFA Nations League, Griezmann has not recorded a goal or assist in France’s first three matches.

Even so, Deschamps still believes in the ability of the former Real Sociedad player.

“I know he doesn’t play 90 minutes in some games,” Deschamps told Diario AS.

“He’s not at his best. This can be seen in his performances and the impact he has on the dynamics of the game.”

Griezmann will return with Barcelona, ​​but it is still unknown whether he will be sold or not this summer. The Blaugrana have targeted a number of players, and that requires funding and an easing of the salary cap – and it is likely that Griezmann could be sold to fulfill that need.

The forward will return to defend the French national team in the UEFA Nations League. Next, Les Bleus will face Croatia on the fourth matchday of Group A1, Tuesday (14/6).
