A strong decision was taken as part of the national selection this week.
The news had the effect of a small bombshell within the France group:
Antoine Griezmann announced his international retirementa week ago. Best passer in the history of the selection, the Mâconnais leaves indelible images behind him, on and off the field.
“He deserved an extraordinary farewell, explained Ibrahima Konaté. I don’t know if he’s planning something next or if he wants to come back. Everyone would have preferred to know this during the last gathering, to say a proper goodbye. I didn’t even comment on his networks, I said to myself ‘no it’s not possible, it can’t end like that’”.
Number 7 already assigned
In this strange context, a question tormented the most loyal supporters of the France team: who will recover Antoine Griezmann’s legendary number 7? And the suspense did not last long since the identity of the successor is already known. It would be Ousmane Dembélé.
The Paris Saint-Germain winger now serves as a veteran in the France group. Close to Antoine Griezmann, Dembélé is a sunny and respected player in the group. He is also one of the rare survivors of the epic 2018 World Cup.
