Griezmann was the star of the show for France as he played through the middle

"When Antoine Griezmann is the heart of the team, he's looks like a different player. Putting him on the left like Barcelona do, fighting for a role as a winger, doesn't seem like the smart choice to make."

The debate surrounding Griezmann's role for Barça has now reached his native France. 'France Football' feel he's been poorly used out on the left.

In France, they're concerned about the position he's playing in at club level. He's yet to find his groove on the wing and this is exactly what happened to Coutinho at the Camp Nou. 

Griezmann starts on the right for France but is allowed the freedom to move inside and play just behind Giroud. "In this position, he feels more relaxed. He feels less comfortable where he's being played in Catalunya, isolated on the left," insists the French media outlet.

Griezmann touched the ball 79 times against Iceland, won his team a penalty and was unlucky not to get on the scoresheet himself.
