Griezmann

With pressing stats, you have to be slightly more careful about making sweeping judgements, due to the fact that the manager’s style of play can influence a player’s numbers.


However, Griezmann’s pressures per 90 minutes over the last four years have got worse and worse. In his last season with Atletico, he pressured an opponent on 919 different occasions. In the 2020/21 campaign for Barca, he pressed the ball only 501 times.
