FC BarcelonaTOAlways available, he has played 37 of the 38 matches, a unique case
GRiezmann has served 29 years this March 21, confined as the rest of Spain, at home and waiting for this nightmare to pass as soon as possible to tryend the season. Without a doubt, it is a strange feeling for everyone, but more for a footballer who has demonstrated unique reliability. There is no other footballer in the Barcelona squad who has been available toCoachthe 38 games that take place in the season.
The French has only stopped playing one game, against Sevilla in the League, but was inthe bench. In the other 37 duels spread between the League, the Cup, the Champions and the Spanish Super Cup, Griezman has always participated. There is no one else inthis BarcelonaNot even Ter Stegen, who missed a game due to injury, can boast of this record. Neither did Braithwaite, who was not called up in a match by Legans and missed the Champions League against Napoli fornot be registered.
That a field player is not out for at least one game, whether due to injury, illness or sanction, is almost impossible to see inbig teams. Apart from Ter Stegen, the other one who comes close to this outrage is De Jong, but he could not be ready for the coach in a match, specifically against Granada, after beingexpelledagainst Espanyol or the aforementioned Braithwaite, who was absent in a match against Lega, although by technical decision, with what is alsoanother amazing example, but Griezmann has done it in Barcelona, which is much more difficult, due to the requirement and the competition.
The French also has 14 goals and four assists. It is true that his performance, obscured by having Messi at his side, is being questioned, but nobody can argueits implicationand, above all, that he is an iron footballer. To havein your templatea player who is not injured, does not see cards and does not even catch a cold isauthentic life insurancefor the coach.
And more in a squad in which there have been important footballers withmany physical problems. Messi was unable to start the season byan injury, but afterwards some have fallen, such as Semedo, Ansu Fati, Jordi Alba, Neto, Umtiti, Arthur, Sergi Roberto and the long-lasting ones such as those of Dembl and Luis Surez.
For this reason, and although Braithwaite or De Jong is also remarkable, Griezmann’s case is unique. A footballer who has always beenat your disposalof his coach, with an iron health despite facinga very difficult calendar, demanding and that normally squeezes footballers.
