Columnist Daniel Riolo questions the choice of Didier Deschamps for the captain’s armband of the Blues.
After the international retirement of Hugo Lloris, Didier Deschamps had to choose between Kylian Mbappé and Antoine Griezmann for the position of captain of the France team. The Bayonnais finally chose the Bondynois crack, which disappointed the Mâconnais.
Journalist Daniel Riolo believes that the Atlético Madrid player was unfairly treated. And judges that he is “completely legitimate” to wear the captain’s armband. The editorialist criticizes the Blues coach for not having recognized the merits of Griezmann, even though he considers him his “darling”.
“Griezmann deserves more recognition, already from Deschamps. He only had to give him the captain’s armband, launched the polemicist on the airwaves of RMC. Griezmann was completely legitimate. Since Deschamps also says that he’s his favorite, why didn’t he give him the armband? Let him not blame a lack of recognition from people towards Griezmann when he himself never gave him the armband. »
