If many followers were touched by the farewell message from Antoine Griezmann, who retired internationally this Monday, this is not the case for Raymond Domenech. In an interview given to The Team Channelthe former coach of the France team (2004-2010) deplored the attitude of the former vice-captain of Blues and judged that Griezmann let go of the selection of Didier Deschamps.
“ The approach does not surprise me. We gradually felt a disenchantment between the two (Didier Deschamps and Antoine Griezmann), which is as much due to Griezmann’s performances as to the place that Didier was able to give him, or that he more or less took away from him. with the captaincy of Mbappé. He needs to be loved, to be the center of the project to be able to give the best of himself. I find it saddening, because when we still have the potential… Abandoning the French team, there’s nothing else to call it, it bothers me. We must not despair for Griezmann. For the moment, he has made this decision. We’ll see in three or four months “, explained Domenech. It is not impossible that the Atlético de Madrid player will reverse his decision, he who has always proclaimed, loud and clear, that he wanted to play the 2026 World Cup in the United States.
