Another downturn, another game without scoring and they are going...

The numbers always speak for themselves and are the main guarantee of any forward. If they are not positive, they should be prepared for a wave of criticism like the one Griezmann is receiving. The Frenchman still hasn't adapted completely.

The education that Simeone has given him and his role at Atlético could be taking its toll on a team in which he must be a little more selfish, accurate and consistent. Griezmann can no longer recover more than 30 balls at this stage of the season and score only four goals and get three assists in 15 games.

This is because the French striker was signed for 135 million euros to begin to perform from day one and give that qualitative leap to his career, the one he wanted so much and for which he was so happy in his 1st press conference. Griezmann is not lacking commitment and good vibes, although he hasn't scored enough goals.

Against Celta it was his fifth consecutive match without scoring, a figure that would not alarm those who followed him in his time at Atletico. After shining against Eibar, his bulb went out against Slavia, Valladolid, Levante and this weekend's opponents. He has not scored in 12 outings.

Griezmann, again experiencing another downturn, will go with France to reflect and take a breath, while in Barcelona they continue to have full confidence. However, the radio station 'SER' indicated that Bartomeu believes that the adaptation of Griezmann is key and he could be impatient because on the field he is not so united with the style of play.

Deschamps and Valverde are aware that it is a difficult process and it is a process that must go through. Valverde defended him again in the press conference after another match in which Griezmann didn't score, who must end the year leaving a better showing of himself without a doubt.
