Former Real Sociedad coach Philippe Montanier has jumped to the defence of Barcelona attacker Antoine Griezmann.
The current coach of Standard Liege, who had Griezmann working under his orders between 2011 and 2013, explained how to get the best out of the forward.
“Antoine needs to have fun, play and joke around to give all his potential. It is not the impression he gives [at present],” Montanier told La Voix du Nord.
Although it has been many years since he had him under his command, Montanier is clear about Griezmann’s way of being and he is sure that his compatriot is not a problem in Barcelona‘s dressing room. On the contrary.
“Antoine, everybody loves him,” Montanier continued.
“In addition to all his talent, he is very persevering; he works a lot, he always puts himself at the service of the team.
“And he has no ego problem. We saw it with Les Bleus.”
