“I have endured too much!” »All about the scandal with Messi

UPDATE, November 24. Griezmann, on his uncle who criticized Messi: “He doesn’t know football!”

The Frenchman decided to break the silence in an interview for Movistar’s Universo Valdano program. Why did you choose to speak now? “I haven’t done it since my introduction. I just wanted to speak in the field, but it’s time to say things by name. I endured too much. I said: ENOUGH! I need help from everyone. Because I don’t speak, I’m an easy target

The Barcelona star commented for the first time on the controversial statements made by his uncle to Messi: “My uncle doesn’t know anything about soccer. I told Leo that I hadn’t spoken to him recently. In fact, I don’t even have his phone number. I haven’t spoken to him since I invited him to my wedding and he didn’t come. I don’t know why he’s talking, we have nothing to do. “

Griezmann on …

… Messi:

I spoke to Leo when I came here. He gave me his support, although he did not understand why he did not agree to the transfer a year ago. He was upset that I turned down the first offer. Anyway, I have great respect for him, I learn a lot from him.

… relationship with the press:

If you go after the press, something always goes wrong. If there is no conflict with Messi, then I say that I want to leave Barcelona or that they will sell me in January. It’s exhausting to see bad news every morning. And that does not let me enjoy football. I can hardly breathe well on a day like this. I accept the criticism, because I still don’t give the best possible performance, I’m aware. But in a year and a half I had 3 coaches, it is not easy. I need time to adapt both to my colleagues and to them to me. Journalists should be more understanding with me, not criticize me so harshly.

…Barcelona:

I have the confidence of the coach. It has been two difficult years for me, but there are still many games to play. I think we can win trophies, but we have to prove it on the field. And it’s my turn to show that I’m ready to play for this club.

… Quique Setien:

When I played 5 minutes with Atlético, when I was a coach, he asked me if I wanted to talk and I replied that it was not necessary. He asked me how long I would be nervous. I still am (nr râde).

… her hair:

Many people want to cut their hair, but I don’t. My son and wife are excited and want to keep it that way.

The initial news

Universo Valdano, the Movistar program, will broadcast on Monday night a spectacular interview with Antoine Griezmann, the star of Barcelona.

“I have not spoken since the official presentation. I want to speak on the field, not outside. That’s the way I am and the best thing for me is to have the ball at my feet. But it’s time to finish it! I endured too many comments. I said: ENOUGH!Griezmann says in the promotion.

Where did the Barcelona scandal start?

Recently, Messi had an outbreak when asked about the statements of Griezmann’s uncle, who accused Messi of the poor performance of the French: “I’m tired of always being the cause of everything bad that happens at the club.”

He was convinced that Antoine would need time to adjust. But I didn’t think it would take a year. Although, with Messi there, I know what is happening. Is not easy. There are things I cannot say, but what I can reveal is that the players are not working hard enough. The training sessions are designed to serve certain players. Antoine has to work, even if others don’t need to do much to feel good. It’s the opposite – you really need to work to be in top shape.
Emmanuel Lopes, Griezmann’s uncle

Antoine has arrived at a club with serious problems, where Messi controls everything. Emperor and king at the same time, his attitude was deplorable from the beginning and made him feel it. He instituted the regime of terror. Either you are with him or you are against him
Eric Olhats, Antoine Griezmann’s former agent

I understand Messi’s anger. Leo should be respected more, especially since he came after a long journey and was immediately asked by Antoine. It is a lack of respect! I have never seen a confrontation between the two on the field, in training or in the locker room. I don’t want to make a big deal about this, because Olhats has not been Antoine’s agent for many years. They are bastards
