New French signing arrives in Barcelona and speaks of how exciting it is and how much he’s looking forward to helping the team achieve big things
Antoine Griezmann is in Barcelona, and no sooner had the French striker touched down in the Catalan capital than he was addressing the Barça TV microphones.
“I’m very happy” he said. “And looking forward to working with the squad and meeting my new team-mates. It’s a new challenge, with new targets. I hope I can do as well as I have been doing for my club and country.”
“La Liga, La Copa, the Champions League… They’re the club’s goals and my goals, and I hope to win them here.”
As well as saying how much he will enjoy teaming up with his compatriots Samuel Umtiti and Ousmane Dembélé, the now former Atlético Madrid man also spoke about the prospect of playing alongside the greatest player of all time. “I’m looking forward to seeing what he’s like on a day-to-day basis, in training. Playing next to him will be an incredible joy.”
“I was keen to come here, and my family was behind me … For me, it’s a big club and I hope to help it to continue being big or make it even bigger. I’m really looking forward to working with my new team-mates and with the boss, and playing at the Camp Nou and hopefully winning a lot of things.”
