Will Suarez Injury Enable Antoine Griezmann to Shine?

Previously, there had been a publicly-voiced friction clash in between Antoine Griezmann and Luis Suarez, prior to the former arriving from Athletico to Camp Nou as a part of the summer deal of $133. At World Cup 2018, prior to their countries facing each other in the semi-finals, Suarez scorned when he had been asked to make a statement on the love for Uruguay nurtured by Griezmann through his friendship with Diego Godin, a captain in the Spanish capital.


Suarez had mocked saying that even though he says he is half Uruguayan, he is actually French and that he doesn’t know about what being Uruguayan is all about. Suarez claims that he doesn’t know about the effort and dedication required to be successful in football. He might have habits and develop a way of speaking. However, he cannot feel the same as they feel differently.

In an event, while going through the initial teething issues once Lionel Messi and Suarez returned from injury. The attacking trio of MSG has been working hard in 2019-2020. With Barcelona managing a 7 game streak, the 3 members of the frontline have racked up goals. In fact, they also scored in the same match.

At Camp Nou’s Catalonia, when Barcelona hosts Slavia Prague in Champions League, it is an opportunity for Griezmann to shine in the center attacking the role of El Pistolero which he has enjoyed great success for French national team, as well as for Atleti.

As per L’Equipe, Suarez and Messi have not forgotten about his documentary The Decision’. This revealed his intention to remain in Atleti another year. At the same time, they haven’t been convinced about the contribution he had on the pitch and it appears like they are actually not giving much importance.
