Dark week for Atletico Madrid. Four days after being surprised at home by Losc in the Champions League (1-3), the Colchoneros actually bit the dust on the pitch of Betis Sevilla (1-0). And Antoine Griezmann, savior of the Madrilenians the previous weekend against Leganes, was not enough this time.
For once, the Mâconais appeared uninspired, showing himself to be messy. The decision this fall of the French world champion to turn his back on the French team nevertheless still arouses heavy regrets among supporters of the Blues. Former executive of the Blues in 1998, Emmanuel Petit has a very precise idea of the reasons which precipitated the international retirement of the former Barcelona player.
Antoine Griezmann misses Paul Pogba
“ For me, the question of captaincy killed Griezmann in the national team. He should have had the armband two years ago, and Deschamps decided to give it to Kylian Mbappé. It was a huge blow for Griezmann, he got a huge kick to the head after that,” he told Football Espana, adding: “We have to take into account that Paul Pogba is no longer in the team too. Pogba and Griezmann were like that (fingers crossed), they loved each other. On the ground too. »
“They were very close to each other, as human beings. They played very well together on the field. The fact that Pogba was not there, and this captain story, we could see that he was not at the same level in the mind of Didier Deschamps. he insisted again.
