Quique Setien had been doubtful of giving more game time to Antoine Griezmann, but turns out, he doesn’t need to be in doubt anymore. Griezmann scored a goal, along with Luis Suarez and Ansu Fati scoring as well in the La Liga match against Villareal, winning 4-1.
“He has associated himself very well and has been gaining confidence,” the Barcelona head coach said, via AS.
“I am very satisfied as I suppose he will be after the goal so beautiful that he has scored, reminded me of one of [Lionel] Messi’s at [Real] Betis.”
Setien could further take a sigh of relief after their win since this was their second win in 5 games.
“All teams are different. Today, we have had everything,” he said.
Setien added: “Other teams like Atletico [Madrid] or Sevilla, firmer in defence created more problems for us. Perhaps they were stronger than this.
“This helps us a lot in confidence. We have pressed very well and we haven’t allowed them to leave. We have made a very balanced match. I would have liked to be right before.”
