France talks Deschamps-‘Grizi’ gap: “Antoine became a gentleman…”

Antoine Griezmann He started the season with a goal against Girona that opened the Catalan team’s defeat. Also with a good understanding of the game creation with his teammates. The player of Atlético de Madrid you are now with your chosen one, companion Francefor arguing the battles of League of Nations.

At any other time, his presence in the Rooster team would have been restorative for him, but after what happened in the Euro Cup, that matter is not so clear.

In the player’s country, in the program “Rothen s’enflamme” RMCensured that there was a gap in the forward’s relationship with the current coach, including Didier Deschampsafter his decisions on European Cup. For the first time in years, the Macon native wasn’t a starter in a game, and the coach showed he was below the level he wanted.

Christophe Dugarryworld champion with France in it world in 1998, he stood for the red and white striker. “Griezmann He is a gentleman, a gentleman. “He has swallowed snakes, he is always calm, while others may react differently,” commented the former striker of AC Milan either FC Barcelona.

Sometimes placed in the middle, sometimes at the top, sometimes on the right wing and also on the bench… Antoine Griezmann lived a Euro 2024 difficult As the French team seeks to be more dangerous on an offensive level, the ‘bleu’ coach does not hesitate to sacrifice someone who has been one of his favorites for more than a decade.

“I don’t think there are many players like him. “I talk about what he has in his feet but mostly about what’s in his head,” explained a Dugarry who believed that “that episode of European Cup“It’s obviously stuck in his throat.” “It’s true that there are episodes where the love is sincere, on the part of DeschampsI think so Griezmann He is their true leader. “I love this player, I trusted him with my eyes closed, there was no problem, but there are still very difficult moments between the two,” he added about their relationship before the European Cup.

For Dugarry, Deschamps He did not manage the situation or the choice well. “I think he also wants his team to be a bit one-day, one-game oriented, a bit offensive. I hope they talk again Griezmann and find a position for him, because if it does not satisfy him, why not allow him to develop? We didn’t even know what we were playing. The style of play is not defined because we don’t know where we are going. There are so many nebulae today in management and in the results achieved. All this is related to the management of the coach, which is quite unique. We don’t understand anything anymore. It’s especially very contradictory on their part because when discussing the placement of Griezmannwe don’t really know which one it is. New yes. We saw the Qatar World Cup, we know that Anthony “I have a midfielder, relief role.”

Finally, he explained: “Unfortunately, he wasted a very natural leadership that has been questioned in recent months, in these last games.”

DOUBT ITS OWNERSHIP AND RECORD

While football people are talking about the issue, it’s not clear if Griezmann will be the starter in the first game of League of Nations against Italy (September 6). The player of PSG Bradley Barcola is now the rising star of France and should get more playing time this international break. In any case, the Parisian winger was chosen by Deschamps in a training session with Michael Olise and Kylian Mbappé next to him, which may indicate that the player of Athletic I have to wait from the bench.

The point is that Griezmann this break can be closed as more history of France. If he plays in two games, he will become the third player with the most appearances in his team’s history, tied for Olivier Giroud. The forward of Los Angeles FC, adds 137 games, two less than Griezmann. When he passes him, they will be first Lilian Thuramwith 137 matches; and Hugo Lloris, with 145. Two figures in the hands of the colchonero.
