Luis Suarez Puts on Defending Body for Antoine Griezmann

DBasia.news –  Luis Suarez discusses Antoine Griezmann’s adaptation process in Barcelona and put his body defending him.

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

The 28-year player’s performance has so far not been stable. He only contributed five goals and three assists in 17 appearances. However, according to Suarez, adaptation in Barcelona does open easy tasks.

“Obviously, it’s not easy for any player to start here in Barcelona. You need time to adapt. It takes time and competition and you feel better and feel that your teammates are supporting you,” Suarez told OneFootball.

“But it must be understood that Griezmann did not play in his previous position and he is a person who is trying hard to adapt to what Ernesto Valverde is asking for. I did it too, like Philippe Coutinho, Neymar or Ousmane Dembele.”

“Every player who arrives in Barcelona has the first few months and a difficult first match. People look at you in great detail, but Griezmann is silent and confident because he has our support to play his best football,” Suarez added.
