And among these events, there is notably the sudden departure of Antoine Griezmann. An announcement which took the French staff by surprise, both in substance and in form.
“Something happened…”
“Guy Stephan was in Madrid the day before Antoine Griezmann’s announcement and he was not intended to meet him. But Griezmann made his announcement by warning the coach at the last moment. He could have made his arrangements a little earlier. In terms of timing, it was not extremely oiled, said Philippe Sanfourche on the set of L’Equipe du Soir.

At each gathering, he took care to go see him, to find out how he was doing. Something actually happened with Antoine Griezmann which also affected the man Didier Deschamps. »
