Last September, the France team said goodbye to one of the greatest players in its history in recent years: Antoine Griezmann. After a decade defending the tricolor colors, the Atlético Madrid striker announced, via a publication on social networks, his decision to end his international career.
If the absence of the “Little Prince” is already regretted by many fans, particularly during the last gatherings of the French team, those around him affirm that Griezmann is experiencing a real “renaissance”. The recent performances of the 2018 world champion attest to this: 7 goals in 6 matches in all competitions, including two doubles scored against Slovan Bratislava in the Champions League and against Sevilla in the championship, on December 11 and 8.
Griezmann unyielding
“He freed himself from a big weight in his head. He found a smile and lightness again, it was a little rebirth. He is so emotional that his situation in the French team weighed on him”said one of those close to Griezmann in L’Équipe.
Our colleagues also report that no element today seems to be able to convince the Mâconnais to put on the blue jersey again. Even a return of his great friend Paul Pogba would not be enough to reverse his decision, thus marking the end of an era for one of Didier Deschamps’ most loyal soldiers.
