Once again very valuable, Thursday, against Ireland (2-0), Antoine Griezmann is undoubtedly on the podium of the best players in the history of the Blues, according to Daniel Riolo.
Antoine Griezmann further improved his incredible record on Thursday against Ireland. The Mâconnais, who has only missed four matches for the Blues since his first selection in the spring of 2014, has indeed chained, Thursday, a 79e consecutive match with the France team and he should obviously be there on Tuesday for the prestigious match in Germany. On this occasion, he would honor his 123e selection with the Blues, which would allow him to join Thierry Henry in the annals of the France team, only preceded by Hugo Lloris, Lilian Thuram and Olivier Giroud.
But according to Daniel Riolo, the Madrilenian has already overtaken the former Gunner in the legend of the Blues: he is indeed one of the three greatest players in the history of the France team and according to the editorialist from RMC, there is a match with Zinedine Zidane. At least in some aspects. “It’s very rare the games where Griezmann is not good. The France team is at the top with him. In the top 3, for me, he has already moved Henry since he took him out. And if we remove an aesthetic symbolism, there is a match with Zidane, but the aesthetic symbolism in football is very important.he said at the microphone of the After.
“God knows I adore Thierry Henry. But on the aspect of longevity… In 1998, Henry is a child, he has no role in this team. His career therefore began at Euro 2000 and ended in 2006: at Euro 2008 he was bad, he missed out on the competition, and in 2010 he left through the very small door.he explained, adding about Grizou: “Griezmann is 10 years old, continued Daniel Riolo. Best player of a Euro, world champion, major player. Another World Cup (2022) where he is a major player in the team, apart from the final where he is not good, but the rest of the tournament he is perfect. He is pretty good all the time. »
