While Atletico Madrid is very reluctant to let Antoine Griezmann compete in the Olympic Games, the French striker is, on the contrary, very confident.
Olivier Giroud, Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappé: these would be the three players Thierry Henry would dream of strengthening the France Espoirs team set to compete in the Olympic Games this summer. A wishful dream since it seems certain that the PSG striker, leaving for Real Madrid, will not be there.
The Merengue leaders have already sent a letter to the French federation to let it be known that they do not intend to release their players for the Olympic Games as Fifa authorizes. If Thierry Henry has not given up on changing the position of the Merengue club, where Eduardo Camavinga can also hope to play in the Games since he is less than the required 23 years old, his mission seems difficult, if not impossible.
“Griezmann is by far the most underrated player in existence”
According to RMC, the same could be true for Antoine Griezmann. According to the radio, the Colchoneros would indeed be worried to see him go on to the Euro and then the Games. But according to the Figarothe Mâconnais would appear optimistic, visibly convinced of obtaining the approval of its leaders. “It would be a dream for me. If I am called, I will put extraordinary pressure to do them. I want to. I want to experience this from the inside,” he told Le Monde at the start of the year.
Antoine Griezmann has obviously already convinced Thierry Henry, totally under the spell of the former Barcelona player. “Griezmann reminds you that working is a talent. Griezmann is by far the most underrated player in existence, he said about it. We often talk about Kylian, so rightly so that I am even in favor of abusing him. But Griezmann… Look at his passes and his goals. Tell me who in history could play all four offensive positions like him? There aren't many… Grizou is one of them! »
