According to CCTV5 program list (January 9, 2024), Antoine Grizman is a popular player in French football. He once won the Golden Boot Award in the European Cup 2016 and led the French team to the final. Although he lost to Portugal in the end, his performance was undoubtedly amazing. However, since he joined Barcelona in 2019 at a sky high price of 120 million euros, his state has been depressed, and it is difficult to show his style in the Nou Camp. Why is it difficult for Grizman to play in Barcelona? Let's analyze his situation.

First of all, Grizman's position and role in Barcelona do not suit his characteristics. Grizman is a forward who is good at using space and speed. When he played in Atletico Madrid and the French national team, he played as a center or shadow forward. He can freely move in the front court, look for opportunities, or pose threats to his teammates. However, in Barcelona, he was placed on the left wing and needed to retreat and cross from the side frequently, which not only limited his offensive play, but also increased his defensive burden. Moreover, Barcelona's dominant style of play is passing and controlling, which requires players to have superb skills and cooperation. Grizman is better at fast counterattack and direct shooting. His integration in Barcelona is not high, and he often seems out of place.

Secondly, Grizman's status and influence in Barcelona are not prominent. When Grizman was in Atletico Madrid and France, he was the core and leader of the team. He could organize and command the attack according to his own will and judgment, and his teammates would also actively create conditions and space for him. But in Barcelona, he is just an ordinary member of the team. He must obey Messi's arrangements and instructions. His teammates will not consider and sacrifice for him. His personal ability and characteristics are also ignored and suppressed. Grizman lacks self-confidence and sense of existence in Barcelona, and his performance is difficult to be recognized and appreciated by fans and the media.

Finally, Grizman's mentality and state in Barcelona are also unstable. The process of Grizman's joining Barcelona was not smooth. He once refused the invitation of Barcelona, and triggered complaints and lawsuits from Atletico Madrid during the transfer, which greatly reduced his image and reputation among Barcelona fans and made him difficult to get support and encouragement from fans. Moreover, Barcelona's achievements and atmosphere in recent years are also poor. The team has experienced many changes and reconstruction, and contradictions and conflicts between players also occur from time to time. Grizman is difficult to find a sense of belonging and happiness in such an environment, and his mentality is increasingly negative and depressed.

To sum up, there are many reasons why Grizman is difficult to play in Barcelona. His position and role, status and influence, mentality and status are unsatisfactory. His cooperation with Barcelona is also a failed marriage. In the summer of 2021, Grizman will return to Atletico Madrid, hoping that he can regain his state and confidence in his old club and rebuild his glory and glory.
