Abidal also added when they wanted to add in Griezmann to the team: “I am transparent with the players,” Luis can tell you because last year I already told him that it was going to be like that, that we were going to look for an offensive player. He accepted it because he wants the best for the team. Today, I can tell you that there is no priority. The planning will always be done, no matter the position on the field, the only change will be the decision.”
