Barcelona fans call out to Antoine Griezmann: "Respect Messi" (from Twitter)
After the storm provoked by his associates, Antoine Griezmann clarifies: I respect and love Leo Messi, and renounce everything that has been said about him.
The Barcelona striker has summoned a special interview to the Spanish media with former player Jorge Valdano, to clarify his position and put things in proportion, after his supposedly problematic relationship with the flea made headlines again.
Among other things, Griezmann's uncle and his former agent accused Messi of "dictatorial behavior", claiming that he "rules terrorism in Barcelona" and that he did not accept Griezmann with open arms for the team, which affects the ability he has shown in the last two years.
As mentioned, Griezmann shuns all of these things.
"My uncle does not understand anything in football. After the things he said were published in all the media, I turned to Leo and explained to him that I have nothing to do with this man. He is not even on my phone. Even with the former agent who said what he said, I have no relationship in recent years." Said Griezmann.
"Leo knows I have a huge respect for him. I learn from him every day, and I actually have no problems with anyone in the team."

Griezmann admitted he feared the way he would be received by Messi at Barcelona because he knew the flea was angry that he had refused to join the club a year earlier and decided to sign a new contract at Atletico Madrid.
"I know it bothered Leo that I had refused Barcelona in the past, but once I joined the team, he told me he was willing to die for me."
Griezmann attacked the Catalan and Spanish media, claiming that the publications against him were completely fabricated.
"The media here always find what's wrong with me. Even when they do not write anything about the relationship between me and Messi, they claim that I want to leave in January or that the club wants to sell me. Every morning I get up again and see that I did something shocking. But there is nothing real about it. I hope that after this interview, things will calm down a bit. "
Griezmann even explained that the relationship between him and previous coaches Ernesto Valvareda and Kika Stein was also normal.
"I have a lot of respect for Lloverda because he is the one who brought me here. He gave me a lot of confidence, even if he put him in different positions on the field. The relationship with Stein was also normal. My family asked me to ask him how many times no I do not play, but Even when it happened, I got it like a pro.After playing five minutes against Atletico Madrid, Kika wanted to talk to me and give me explanations, and I explained to him that there was no need.He told me, 'How long will you be mad at me?', And I did not understand what he wanted from me. I laugh at this situation to this day. "
He attributes Griezmann's difficulties in adapting to Barcelona to the situation in which the club finds itself.
"In the year and a half I have been here, three coaches have been replaced. I come from a slightly different style of play, and each coach here had different requirements. In between, the corona also arrived and it did not make it any easier. I am aware that I do not deliver the goods and show the true ability Mine, but understand that I have extenuating circumstances.
