E.Valverde: "A.Griezmann understands that we expect more from him"

The coach Ernesto Valverde did not start the Spanish championship as planned.

The team "Barcelona" coached by the 55-year-old specialist suffered a 0:1 defeat to Bilbao "Athletic" in an away game, while the strategist was looking for reasons for the failure.

According to Valverde, the famous club's newcomer Antoine Griezmann has not yet properly integrated into the game.

"The Frenchman moves well in the field, but he must dominate in order to implement that."

"Of course, he understands that we expect a lot from all the players and he himself must show better results," explained Valverde.

"L. Suarez injured his leg muscle and we have to wait for the results of the examination. In the second half, when we played around the penalty area of ​​'Athletic', it was clear that we missed him."
