In a year, France will have two goals in football: the Euro in Germany and the Olympic Games at home. For this second deadline, the French hope to line up the best possible team with in particular Mbappé and Griezmann, both candidates.
At the Olympic Games, it is often said that the main thing is to participate. However, in football, France hopes to do a little more than that for the tournament organized at home in 2024. No one has forgotten the fiasco of 2021 when it was necessary to assemble a team in disaster to go to Tokyo. The result was logically disappointing on the pitch: one win-two losses, 5 goals scored-11 conceded and elimination in the first round. The stars of the team were André-Pierre Gignac, Téji Savanier and Paul Bernardoni. This must change in 2024 in Paris with the large French reservoir.
Mbappé-Griezmann, impossible to say no
This would be so the case if the Bleuets lined up stars like Kylian Mbappé or Antoine Griezmann. Despite Euro 2024 which ends a few days before in Germany, the captain and his vice-captain of the French team also want to participate in the Olympic high mass. Kylian Mbappé transmitted his wish as early as 2022. “ I’ve always said it was a dream for me to play the Olympics, but I won’t force it because it’s not on Fifa dates, if I can participate it will be with great pleasure, if not, too bad “, he had dropped timidly. Antoine Griezmann has recently followed in his footsteps.

” I will put extraordinary pressure on my club. It’s a dream, a goal, especially in France. I feel like it, it would be a dream to live it from the inside “said Grizou. A speech well understood by the president of the FFF, Philippe Diallo, who put the French clubs in front of their ” responsibilities “. This Friday, Sports Minister Amélie Oudéa-Castera followed suit, telling Ouest-France that he was ” impossible to say no to Kylian Mbappé. She also wants Antoine Griezmann for 2024.” He is such a source of inspiration, of freshness. To have him and Antoine Griezmann would be extraordinary. The French Football Federation must manage this with skill “, she confided. An intelligent anticipation but which guarantees nothing. Indeed, Atlético will have to be understanding for Griezmann just like Real Madrid for Mbappé, if the latter joins him. We can think that the kid from Bondy will study the question for the negotiations with the Merengue.
