Despite his €120million price tag, Griezmann does not appear to be a vital cog in Barcelona’s well-oiled machine. In fact, it is starting to seem like Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez see the player as surplus to requirements.
Barcelona fans believe that Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez are purposely ignoring Antoine Griezmann
Fans of the club have begun to think that the French International is being deliberately ignored by his two teammates. Lionel Messi may have run riot against Real Valladolid, however, Griezmann’s treatment by the duo made the fans sympathise with him.
The French international looks visibly frustrated by his lack of involvement in the play. He has already scored 6 times in 14 appearances. Not bad for a player still settling in. However, it seems that Barcelona do not see him as the answer to their problems.
Griezmann has admitted in interviews that he and Messi do not talk a lot. That is concerning, considering that they play together in the front line. Communication and understanding are important to operate as a front three.
Unless the plan here is to freeze him out and eventually drive him away. In fact, Griezmann is now becoming increasingly frustrated by the day. There were claims that after complaining to Nélson Semedo about not receiving a pass near the end of the game, Griezmann then headed straight down the tunnel at full-time without acknowledging the fans.
