For many in the successes of the French team in recent years, Antoine Griezmann was the subject of very severe criticism during the last Euro. Out of breath, the Frenchman completely fell through and the Blues paid a high price. Without their playmaker, at least at his level, the vice-world champions appeared to be suffering, owing only their defensive solidity to push on to the semi-finals.
The criticism has been harsh and some have questioned his future in the French team as he turns 34 next spring. It’s up to the coach to decide. I always want to “, he said after the elimination against Spain, not hesitating to send a dig at his coach: ” I started badly. Afterwards, I felt better and better, and I ended up on the bench. I tried to give my all with a lot of tactical and positional changes, did he let go like this?. We had to adapt all the time. »
Preferred to Suarez or Benzema
Although he is currently enjoying his holidays to the fullest, Antoine Griezmann will not be sorry to return to his Madrid cocoon at the beginning of August. The top scorer in the history of the Colchoneros remains the idol of all of Atletico Madrid, from the fans to his coach, Diego Simeone, who has nothing but good things to say about the Mâconnais. And the same goes for David Villa, the former glory of Barça and Atletico Madrid.
Having left Madrid a few weeks before the Frenchman’s arrival at the Colchoneros, the 2010 world champion, interviewed by Goal, did not hesitate when choosing between Antoine Griezmann, Karim Benzema or Luis Suarez, whom he has often been opposed to. For the best scorer in the history of the Roja, the Madrid number 7 must only bow to another glorious number 7: Raul.
