A new era has opened for the Blues. This international break was in fact the first since the announcement of the international retirement of Antoine Griezmann after more than a decade of good and loyal service to the France team. A new era which started well since the Blues signed two victories against Israel (1-4) and Belgium (1-2).
The Blues did not seem to be missed by the Madrilenian, who took the opportunity to live his passion for the NFL to the fullest, delivering a new episode of the podcast in his name, Grizi Huddle, available on the official channels of Mundo NFL, the Spanish-speaking channel of the NFL, and going to attend the American football match between the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Chicago Bears at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Pogba wants to find the Blues
The absence of Antoine Griezmann nevertheless left a big void among the Blues, with everyone paying tribute. Paul Pogba also spoke of his great friend’s decision during his interview with RMC, expressing his sadness. “Trist for all French people and football fans. My Grizou is not that old… and above all his quality. We lost an executive from the France team. He has his own reasons but we cannot take away everything he has done for the France team. I spoke to him yesterday (Tuesday, editor’s note) on the phone. I told him that he was one of the players who put the French team back on top,”
he explained.
Paul Pogba, who will be able to make his big return to the field next March after eighteen months of suspension for doping, has also confided his desire to return to the Blues.
“Of course it’s a goal. As I have always said, it has always been a dream for me to play for the French team” explained the former Mancunian, Didier Deschamps having already sent him a message: “He told me: ‘Paul, you have to work, you have to work. When I tell you to work, it means you have to redouble your effort.’ And I told him yes, I know about it. And there you have it, you had this chance. So it’s work, work, work. And he’s absolutely right. That’s what I like, this frankness. »
