Clearly, the choice of Antoine Griezmann continues to make people talk. It must be said that the Mâconnais surprised everyone by announcing at the end of last September that he was putting an end to his history with the French team after ten years of good and loyal service. A carefully considered and irrevocable decision, according to the Atlético Madrid striker.
But two months after this unexpected announcement, questions still arise about the circumstances of his departure. According to the information revealed by Philippe Sanfourche on the set of L’Equipe du soir, Antoine Griezmann did not leave in a very classy way. “ Throughout his career, Antoine Griezmann has been a formidable player but in terms of his communication and his sense of timing in important moments of his career, he has not always been exemplary », explained RTL journalist.
“Griezmann has not always been exemplary”
“ Or maybe everyone lies and it’s an absolute pile of lies, he continued. But I remember having Guy Stephan on the phone the day after his announcement to find out a little more and he was in Madrid the day before, he had spoken with him, nothing, he didn’t have any information, not the queue of something. And Griezmann took his phone, he called Didier Deschamps the next morning saying ‘I’m going to make an announcement’. It was half an hour before and four days before the list. In these cases, what do you do? There is nothing to do. »
Philippe Sanfourche then spoke about the reasons which pushed “Grizou” to end his career with the French team. “ It had been months that you felt that Antoine Griezmann, beyond the sportsman, on group life, he was a little isolated, with the old ones… But from the moment Giroud left, he no longer had any ‘hook’he confided.
