BARCELONA (Reuters) - Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman has said that he will continue to play Antoine Griezmann in the best possible role for the team rather than the one the forward prefers.

Griezmann, who has failed to score for Barca this term, appeared to send a message to Koeman after scoring in France's 2-1 win over Croatia on Wednesday, remarking that national side manager Didier Deschamps knew how to get the best out of him.
