Against all expectations, Antoine Griezmann has decided to put an end to his history with the France team. A decision “ carefully considered » that the 33-year-old Mâconnais announced at the end of last September through a message posted on his social networks. Now fully focused on his season with Atlético Madrid, the best passer in the history of the Blues is in brilliant form. What makes him want to come back to the selection? Pierre Ménès does not rule out this hypothesis.
“Why is Griezmann rediscovering a second youth? He is perhaps freed from a weight of no longer being in the selection. As a result, he still played four fewer matches (with the Blues), so he had periods of rest which, given his age and his style, is not trivial. », Explained the former star consultant of Canal+ on his YouTube channel.
“It might also make him want to come back…”
“ Perhaps the fact that Antoine has been performing with Atlético lately reinforces his choice to have left the French team, he continued. I’m not in his head but it might also make him want to come back… I don’t know what (Didier) Deschamps thinks about it, nor really what they said to each other, nor Griezmann’s real motivations. »
Pierre Ménès then invited “Grizou” to break the silence, as Kylian Mbappé did recently. “ Mbappé was criticized for doing an interview with Mouloud Achour (in the show Clique on Canal+, editor’s note) but at least he spoke, whispered the 61-year-old journalist. Griezmann, we are still waiting for a speech from him so that he can explain to us the why and the how. As long as you don’t explain yourself, you leave the door open to all possible speculations. »
