Antoine Griezmann spoke at a press conference in Tokyo ahead of Barca’s friendly against Chelsea in the Rakuten Cup.

Griezmann explained that team leader Lionel Messi had not spoken to him yet but Luis Suarez has.

“I got a message from Luis, who welcomed me, I am very happy and content to be here,” said Griezmann.

“The group received me really well and I’m very happy to share a dressing room with them.

“I hope I can help them as much as possible.”

Griezmann made a lot of jokes, alongside Ivan Rakitic who was also speaking.

 

“In the first training session I suffered two nutmegs, one from the guy by my side (Rakitic), (laughter), and now I’m feeling better.”
