Antoine Griezmann has confessed that he is still getting up to speed with Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi's "movements" at Barcelona, while opening up on his "shy" personality making it difficult for him to form a relationship with the pair.
After five successful years with Atletico Madrid, Griezmann completed a £108 million ($142m) switch to Barca on July 12, bringing to an end one of the year's longest-running transfer sagas.
Griezmann admits he is still trying to "understand" his new team-mates, but expects to feel more at home in Catalunya as time goes by.
"I have to learn a new position and also understand my new teammates," he told UEFA TV. "I have yet to connect with the movements of Luis, Messi, the midfield and my full-back [on the left, either Jordi Alba or Junior Firpo].
"I am someone who is very shy. I do not usually talk to others, but everything will come with time. With Luis and Leo, we are starting to understand each other.
"We have already had dinner and we will go to more. What happens outside the pitch can only help on it."
