- Montanier says that Griezmann was unlucky to join a club in crisis.
- Antoine’s former coach claims the Frenchman never had an ego problem.
- He uses Mbappe as an example of Griezmann getting along with other football stars.
“He’s had the misfortune to slip into a difficult moment, at a Barcelona which is in the middle of a crisis and dependent on the moods of Leo Messi, which affects every level of the club. Sometimes a beautiful flower chokes another to death,” Antoine Griezmann’s coach from back at Real Sociedad, Philippe Montanier, has told Voix du Nord. (h/t Diario AS)
“Griezmann needs to enjoy his football, play and joke to get the most out of his potential. But that’s not the impression you get watching him at the moment…

“Everyone loves Griezmann. Apart from his immense talent, he’s a real fighter, he works hard, he always puts himself at the team’s service. He has never had any ego problems as long as I’ve known him and I don’t think he ever will.
“We’ve seen what he is like with France. When Kylian Mbappe came onto the scene, he immediately stepped to one side to give him a chance to break into the side.”
Griezmann has indeed had a slow start of the season, recording only two goals and one assist in nine matches. There have been suggestions in the press that Antoine has a problem with Messi but the Frenchman took it to Twitter to deny it.
