DBasia.news – French national team coach, Didier Deschamps felt that Lionel Messi’s departure could have a good effect on Antoine Griezmann. The coach considered Messi and Griezmann’s cooperation was unsuitable.
Lionel Messi sensationally spoke to Barcelona that he wanted to leave in the summer of 2020. Messi no longer feels at home at the Camp Nou after a number of problems occured.
According to Didier Deschamps, the departure of La Pulga will open up space for Antoine Griezmann to develop. In their first season playing together, the two players did not show maximum cooperation.
“I don’t know. In the beginning, it was not my business. It concerns Lionel Messi and Barcelona. So, I will not talk about it,” Deschamps said as reported by Goal.
In his debut season at Barcelona, Antoine Griezmann received a lot of criticism. The French player is considered not to have shown a performance like at Atletico Madrid. Griezmann only scored 15 goals.
“In the meantime, will Antoine Griezmann be influential? It remains to be seen. He sincerely plays with Lionel Messi. Sometimes he plays well, but on some occasions he doesn’t.”
“It’s none of my business. It’s a matter of the club. Antoine Griezmann has had a complicated season. Even if that doesn’t stop him from making a difference. It happened when the team was built for him at Atletico Madrid.”
Meanwhile, Antoine Griezmann was part of Ronald Koeman’s plans for Barcelona. Although, news in Spain reveals that Griezmann is open to the opportunity to leave.
