In lack of confidence in Barça, Antoine Griezmann can always count on Didier Deschamps to revive him in the France team.

The coach proved it again during this winter break, installing Grizou as playmaker in matches against Ukraine (entered on time), Portugal and Croatia.

“I know where he is best and most influential: in an axial position,” DD explains at each rally.

"The coach knows where to put me so I take advantage of this situation, this place and everyone's confidence," said the player echoing.

"I decide for the good of the team"

Except that now, the former Atlético is back in Barcelona this weekend and Ronald Koeman was again very clear in a press conference.

The Dutch coach will not change his system for him.

“Anyone can say what they think.

I spoke with Antoine about his position, his role and his past performances.

I'm looking for the best for the team and I think his place is on the right wing, Koeman explained.

He can play all three positions (in front) and I decide for the good of the team.

Then each player must make the most of it.

Can you wait for the November truce?
