Griezmann tipped to adapt his game to help Messi - just like Suarez did

Former Real Sociedad head coach Martin Lasarte has no doubt Antoine Griezmann will be able to adapt his game to thrive with Lionel Messi, despite his years as the star man for Atletico Madrid.

Griezmann made his much anticipated switch from Atletico to Barcelona in July, after the Liga champions activated his €120 million (£107m/$134m) release clause.

Doing so means Griezmann moves from a club where he was the focal point of the attack to one where he’ll have to fit in beside Messi, whom he says is yet to contact him after he made the move to Barca.
