Atletico Madrid forward, Antoine Griezmann has come out to say that his spell at Barcelona wasn’t a disaster. He recently revealed this despite struggling to justify a €120 million (£101m/$135m) price tag paid for him at the Camp Nou.
According to him, it was no disaster because he always scored almost 20 goals every season, and that remains his main job as a forward.
Griezmann added that he was very worried about how Atletico fans will welcome him back, but everything has been going on well since he joined.
His words, “I was very happy to go [to Barcelona], I had incredible team-mates.”
“I learned a lot from the coaches, although sometimes I didn’t play and it was difficult.”
“It wasn’t a disaster either, because I’ve always scored almost 20 goals every season. For me, it is a great pride to have played at Barcelona.”
On Atletico, “I was worried [about how Atletico’s fans would welcome me].”
“I know I got off to a bad start, but I knew I was going to do my best on the pitch to get the spirits up and so far everything is going really well.”
“I think they love me there for who I am, so it’s perfect for everyone.”
“It’s true, I have a coach [Diego Simeone] who trusts me, a club that trusts me. My wife is happy, my children are happy. I am very happy whether off or on the pitch.”
