Antoine Griezmann has had a complicated start to the summer, to say the least. The result of a completely failed Euro, to the point of being benched by Didier Deschamps for the clash against Spain in the semi-final. This failure nevertheless seems to have been completely forgotten. In particular thanks to the Olympic Games, which allowed him to pass “one of the best summers of his life” according to his confidences to those close to him, according to Le Parisien.
The French world champion is totally regenerated and is approaching this new season with enthusiasm. Whether with Atletico Madrid or with the French team, which he met again with great pleasure on Monday at Clairefontaine. The failure of the Euro is forgotten and the words of Didier Deschamps, one-on-one as well as in the press conference, have necessarily reassured him.
Extension in sight
“He wasn’t at his best, like others, on the offensive side. He had a difficult end to the season with his club, where a lot was asked of him. There is a fatigue that can be physical or psychological. He didn’t completely miss it, because he is generous, he did the maximum with what he had,”
This is how the French coach told the media.
And if some imagined him taking a step back with the Blues, Antoine Griezmann is determined to continue the adventure until the World Cup in the United States. And to this end, while a departure at the end of the season to Los Angeles FC seemed to be on the cards, an agreement even being mentioned by the Spanish press, the time would now be rather for an extension with Atletico Madrid, in order to remain competitive until 2026 and his last big objective with the Blues.
