I remember the hype around him at the time, people talking about him being the next super star for Barcelona. Why didn't he do well at Barcelona?

He plays in the same spaces as Messi. Like Greizeman. A dumb signing.

No he doesn't, he literally plays on the opposite side

Neither were true wingers at the time though, both were more of a mix between a winger and a 10, filling the same spaces, but on opposite sides. Neither had good work rate, which makes it hard to have both play together.

Yes but they play opposite sides is the point that wasn't the issue, the issue was his style of play when you already have Messi like you the work rate.

This would make sense of griezman as he's a left footer playing in similar areas than messi

Correct. Messi usually goes right and Countinho left.

"Usually" not usually, that's where they play and have always played.
