Antoine Griezmann said enough. The French world champion has been constantly criticized for his performance at FC Barcelona and for his little feeling with Lionel Messi. In fact, the last great controversy was unleashed by his former agent with inflammatory statements that branded La Pulga a “dictator” at Barça.
In conversation with the ‘Universo Valdano’ program of ‘Vamos’ (Movistar), the Frenchman broke the silence and clarified how Messi’s reaction was after his arrival at the Catalan club: “I arrived at Barcelona, who had rejected him a year before. There could have been comments even in the dressing room, from journalists, from the fans and that is why when I arrived I wanted to apologize on the pitch. “
“If some have been offended I will apologize giving everything on the field. I spoke with Leo when I arrived and he told me that he screwed up when I refused to go the first time, because he had made public comments and that in the end I said no, but that we were on the same team and that he was going to death with me and that is what I notice and feel every day“, he endorsed.
Griezmann’s release did not end there and he took the opportunity to clarify the controversies surrounding his name: “There is always something wrong, if it is not with Leo it is that I want to go, that I will leave in January because they are going to sell me … It is getting up every morning and seeing if there is something wrong. Hopefully after this interview everything will calm down a bit with me“.
The last controversy with Messi
The Frenchman tried to explain the words that came out of his environment against Messi. “I have not had a relationship with Eric (ex-agent) since I got married. He didn’t come to my wedding and that pissed me off. He is not my representative and I have no relationship with him but since I do not speak, nor does anyone around me speak, not even my sister, who is my representative, he speaks and thinks as anyone does and can do a lot of damage. It can create doubts in the dressing room and in my relationship with Leo“.
“And then my uncle, who doesn’t know what football is about, a journalist comes and is with you for a few hours and at first you are more attentive but then he seems like your friend and really, all he wants is to get a sentence out of you. I told Leo that I have nothing to do with them. I haven’t talked to my uncle for years and I don’t even have whatsapp and I have practically no relationship because I left when I was 14 years old“he added.
Finally, Griezmann acknowledged his admiration for La Pulga: “Leo knows that I have a lot of respect for him, I learn from him, I see him as an example. I told Leo that I would speak, although I don’t like it, to clear things up“.
