At the start of the week, Antoine Griezmann dropped a bombshell by announcing that he was ending his international career. A surprising decision for the 33-year-old player who is still playing high-level matches with Atlético de Madrid and whose main ambition was to play in the 2026 World Cup in the United States (with Mexico and Canada). During the last gathering a month ago, at the microphone of TéléfootGriezmann even confided: “my desire to play in the 2026 World Cup is still there, to represent France. »
A not really honest statement for Didier Deschamps who explained in Téléfoot which Griezmann was already thinking of stopping at that moment. “When you interviewed him last month, between what he told you and what he thought… It was something he already had in his head. You imagine that he will tell you there, in the middle of a rally between two matches, “uh no no, I’m thinking of stopping…”. When I talk to you too, I don’t necessarily always say what I really think.”
