DBasia.news – Antoine Griezmann’s future has been in the spotlight after only entering as a substitute player when Barcelona played against Atletico Madrid. However, Quique Setien claimed that Griezmann accepted the situation he was experiencing at this time as they have talked privately.
“He is fine. I have spoken to him. Antoine is a great professional, he is a player who understands the current situation. He is extraordinary and very professional. He will be alright when he plays again. He is positive and we can count on him 100 percent when he continues to play, “Setien said as quoted by Sportskeeda.
As reported earlier, Griezmann was only played by Setien during the match against Atletico in the 90th minute. Some parties regretted Setien’s treatment towards Griezmann.
“I’m talking about hierarchy, but I don’t think there are any players who haven’t been touched. Antoine Griezmann is a great player who is important for the club and the team. But not all teams can play,” Setien explained.
“I actually want to play all of them, but I have to ask every player, whether they can make a difference at a particular moment. I always think about my decision. I do not want to make them guess,” he continued.
“Teams like Barca have many great players, not all players can be played. This happens to the whole team and it is understandable that players are angry because they always want to play. I am responsible for the decision,” he concluded.
