BARCELONA: Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman has said that he will continue to play Antoine Griezmann in the best possible role for the team rather than the one the forward prefers.
"Everyone has the right to say things but the coach is in charge and the player has to perform his best," Koeman told a news conference ahead of Barca's visit to Getafe in La Liga on Saturday. Griezmann was Atletico Madrid's talisman for five years before joining Barca for 120 million euros in 2019 but has largely struggled to shine in the same team as Messi, scoring only nine league goals last season.Former boss Ernesto Valverde could not get the best out of him, while successor Quique Setien also struggled to find the forward's best role, and left him on the bench for a crucial game against Atletico last season, bringing him on in added time.
