Antoine Griezmann ended the year like a cannonball, stringing together XXL performances with Atletico Madrid while the Colchoneros lined up victories. These great performances inevitably aroused the regrets of the supporters of the France team, still disappointed by the international retirement of the former Barcelona player.
But some want to believe in the return of the Mâconais to the Blues. This is particularly the case of Stephen Brun, the former basketball player counting on… Kylian Mbappé to convince Antoine Griezmann to reverse his decision to leave the French selection. Even if it means giving him his armband…
“ It would be exceptional for Mbappé’s communication if he took the step of going to see Griezmann in Madrid and telling him: “We need you in the France team to win the 2026 World Cup. You want the captaincy ? No worries ” “, he confided at the microphone of the Super Moscato Show. And Kylian Mbappé is not the only one who can convince Antoine Griezmann.
Deschamps must also speak to Griezmann
The same goes for Didier Deschamps, at least if the French coach takes the time to discuss with his player.
“For me, Mbappé has a power of influence on Griezmann in the same way as Deschamps. If Deschamps makes the effort to see Griezmann, it’s no longer the same, he said. Griezmann will no longer have the same status. The best thing is that he comes back for the World Cup qualifiers. »
Relaunched this fall on his decision to leave the Blues, Antoine Griezmann had nevertheless been very clear about his intentions.
“I was very proud and very surprised by all the nice messages received from supporters and people in the football world. I am very happy, I was very touched, he confided after the match against PSG. I’m happy to have left a nice mark with the Blues. But I won’t go back. It was not an impulse, but carefully considered. It’s completely over. »
