Before Antoine Griezmann returned to the subject this Sunday, Raymond Domenech spoke out following the comments made by the French international on Friday evening.

Two days after the sad defeat of the French team against Italy in the group match of the League of Nations (1-3), Antoine Griezmann returned to the show ” Telefoot ” on the state of his relationship with Didier Deschamps. This Sunday, the 2018 world champion wanted to defuse the bomb, especially after his comments made on Friday evening, in which he returned to the defective tactical organization against the Italians. Words that did not please a certain Raymond Domenech at all.

We weren’t good in pressing, nor defensively. We started well, but we didn’t know how to arrange things tactically when their central defender came inside. That caused us a lot of problems. ” These are the terms in which “Grizou” tried to explain things, at the microphone of TF1. And that’s what the former coach of the French team, who has become a consultant for the channel, returned to on Saturday evening.
The Team. ” There, he will have a hard time explaining that it is not a direct bomb against the coach. He can say what he wants, but if he has not managed to resolve tactically, he is still on the field. »

“I think it’s serious”

And Estelle Denis’ former partner continued in the same tone: ” If he had said: ‘I was not good because I did not fix the problem of the central going out’, I admit it. But here he puts the ‘we’. Every time, the ‘we’ gives me goosebumps when the players talk like that. (…) It means that he is mixing everyone up, that he is not getting into the game (…). I find that inappropriate. That is where the real problem lies. He is pushing back by saying that perhaps the coach did not make the necessary changes. That is what he is suggesting and I find that serious. »

The explanations given since by the Atlético de Madrid player may have allowed Raymond Domenech to better understand what the player wanted to say. In any case, and in a more collective manner, the Blues are expected on Monday evening for their second group match scheduled in Lyon against Belgium.
