Asked by The TeamPhilippe Diallo confirmed that nothing was planned. “For now, no. I had suggested to him, when Giroud received his tribute, that he could benefit from his at the same time. Afterwards, it’s a question of timing. I think that Antoine Griezmann, given what he has brought and what he represents in the eyes of the French, deserves this tribute. I am available,” confided the president of the FFF.
