At the start of the season, Antoine Griezmann (33) announced his international retirement after 137 selections (44 goals). This Thursday, the FFF revealed that a tribute will be paid to another retiree from the Blues, Olivier Giroud, on Sunday March 23 at the Stade de France, during the quarter -final return of the League of Nations against Croatia. However, Didier Deschamps revealed at a press conference that this tribute also concerned Antoine Griezmman. But the Atlético de Madrid player will not be present.
“The president has already answered this question. You know the reasons. It must have been both (Giroud and Griezmann), but Antoine has a schedule that does not allow him to be there, it will be done later. It lets everyone free to interpret. When he played against PSG, he reaffirmed his decision. If you have elements that I don't have … there will be Oliver, the stadium will be full “he said.
