E. Valverde: "We hope that Griezmann will bring quick benefits"

Strategist Ernesto Valverde, who has started preparing for the new season, spoke about the newcomers to the team.

This summer, "Barcelona" invited two famous players - Antoine Griezmann and Frenkie de Jong. E. Valverde is confident that A. Griezmann will not need much time to become an important part of the team.

"He has experience in 'La Liga' and that gives him an advantage over Frenkie. Antoine is fast, has a good game sense, and is an excellent sniper. We have a lot of confidence in him, we know what kind of player he is, and we expect him to bring us quick benefits," said the strategist.

Talking more about F. de Jong, E. Valverde added: "Last season he showed a very high level, just like the whole 'Ajax' team.

He is a player who will bring freshness to our defensive line. He has a great future ahead of him, as he is a high-class player and still has many years ahead of him. It also helps that he is already familiar with our style."
