It was an announcement that had the effect of a bomb. To everyone’s surprise, Antoine Griezmann announced Monday morning that he was putting an end to his history with the France team. “ It is with a heart full of memories that I close this chapter of my life. Thank you for this magnificent tricolor adventure and see you soon »wrote the Mâconnais on his social networks.
Since this unexpected announcement, tributes have multiplied to salute the career of “Grizou” with the French team. For his part, Raymond Domenech slipped a tackle on the Atlético Madrid striker. The former Blues coach judges the choice of the former Barcelona player “ desolate » and even accuses him of abandoning the French team.
Domenech: “I find it distressing”
“I’m not surprised. We gradually felt a disenchantment between the two, which was due as much to Griezmann’s performances as to the place that Didier had given him or which more or less took away from him with Mbappé’s captaincy », commented Domenech on the microphone of the L’Equipe channel.
And to continue: “ He needs to be loved, to be at the center of the project to be able to give the best of himself. I find it distressing because when we still have the potential (…) abandoning the French team, because it’s not called anything else, bothers me. »
