And Antoine Griezmann opened his heart. Now that was the big decision. The documentary, Lionel Messi, Quique Setien, Atletico Madrid, his former agent, his family, his game. Everything that has been and is part of his life as a footballer and that is not in the right place was dissected in a slow and reflective talk with Jorge Valdano.
Maybe now we will see him in a different way. A full-blown image reset. And a plea for truce to the critics in the face of what he himself considers a movement full of self-criticism. Griezmann generously put all the emphasis on safeguarding his relationship with Messi, a circumstance that has become a national debate and that leaves the Argentine in a bad position. Angry for not coming, support to the death on arrival, he summed up.
Antoine left some of the keys to his happiness up in the air. Dinners, union, commitment, involvement. Perhaps he has not found something in Barcelona like what he experienced at Atleti with Diego Godin, his great friend who was the captain and acted as the glue of the group.
While waiting for Messi to decide what to do with his life and above all where he decides to do it, Barcelona would do well to continue pampering a clear top-three talent in LaLiga Santander that has not been able to show it to this point in his year and a half in Blaugrana colours.
First step completed. Recognition of sin and purpose of amendment. The only thing left for him to do is to behave again on the pitch as what he is: a world champion.
