Antoine Griezmann’s silence in the face of the French media continues to raise questions. Since his departure from the French team, the top scorer in the history of Atlético de Madrid has no longer given the slightest interview to the French press. Traveling to Florida to produce a large format on his new life in Orlando, Téléfoot once again tried to gather his impressions. After his training, the striker was cordial, but did not wish to comment further: “I’m happy. I’m on the road now. It was my dream. (…) I’m very happy, man. Thanks for coming anyway. I love it. » After learning that the journalist had waited for him for 5 hours, Griezmann was finally very clear: “I’m sorry, but I don’t want to talk. I don’t want to talk to anyone anymore. It’s against no one. »
An attitude which caused the incomprehension of Bixente Lizarazu, consultant, who regrets this distance maintained with the French media. The former international believes that a certain resentment could remain after the end of the French adventure at Euro 2024 and the announcement of his international retirement. He thus launched an appeal to number 7: “we have the impression that there is a little resentment over this difficult end to Euro 2024. Then, he announced that he had stopped the France team. He doesn’t want to talk to French journalists. Finally, I just want to tell him that whatever happens, he’s a legend of the France team, it’s French football and that the supporters adore him and that it’s a shame to deprive ourselves of that. Because if he’s angry at someone, but not at us, there’s no reason. Talk to us Antoine, talk to us. »
