MLS: Griezmann, the new nickname that says a lot

Antoine Griezmann has continued to shine since his arrival in the United States, in the ranks of Orlando. To the point of having earned a new nickname.

Orlando City beat San Diego last night in Major League Soccer, the North American soccer elite. Thanks to a unique goal from Antoine Griezmann, the Florida franchise won 1-0, thus remaining in the race for the play-offs from its eighth place in the East – 16e overall.

Since his arrival this summer in the United States, the former leader of the Blues has played 11 matches, for a record of six goals and three assists. With a spectacular rise in power since the person concerned displays a current series of four goals in three outings.

The “Lion King” quickly adopted in the USA

So Antoine Griezmann continues to write his legend, already adored by soccer fans in the USA and flanked by a new nickname that has gone viral. A championship commentator, inspired by the peroxide hair of the former Matelassier, gave him the nickname “Lion King”. A no-brainer for such majesty.
