Antoine Griezmann from the new season will be performing in Barcelona not with “17”, but “7” on his back.
When he joined the French club, Philippe Coutinho was the holder of the magic number for each player. The Brazilian initially played with “14”, but when Arda Turan went on loan from the club, he made a change.
At the start of the 2019/2020 season, when the offensive was still a player of the “Catalonia Duma”, he was entered into the competition with a seven. With this in mind, it was not possible to assign his number later. In this way, we watched Antoine Griezmann in a leotard with the number 17.
Now, despite the footballer’s return from the Country of Coffee to Camp Nou, the castle has been reshuffled, and as the Frenchman emphasized in his social media, everything took place with the consent of the 28-year-old.
“I would like to thank Philippe Coutinho who, in addition to being a great footballer, is also a good teammate,” wrote the 2018 world champion on Twitter.
The Spanish media note that the allocation of the jersey with the number 7 takes place when the player was not so long ago connected with the departure. It is therefore a clear sign that everyone in the Catalan capital is counting heavily on the attacker and believes it will be his year.
Let’s add that in the past players such as Luís Figo, David Villa and Henrik Larsson played with the seven.
Griezmann’s balance in “Blaugran” is 48 games, 15 goals and four assists. It was brought for 120 million euros.
