Some people look favorably on Antoine Griezmann’s international retirement.
The announcement surprised more than one. Monday, against all expectations, Antoine Griezmann announced via a message posted on social networks that he was putting an end to his history with the France team. It must be said that the Mâconnais seemed to suffer from a feeling of being downgraded recently within the Blues, to which was added physical and mental wear and tear.
A decision which remains surprising, but carefully considered by the Atlético Madrid striker, according to Didier Deschamps. The French coach has not been spared from criticism since the announcement of “Grizi”. Indeed, he is judged by many Blues supporters as the main person responsible for Griezmann’s departure.
“Very good news for Atlético de Madrid”
But while the international retirement of the former Barcelona player is a big blow for many French people, Atlético Madrid fans are delighted with the choice of their protégé, who will be 34 years old next March.
“I think it’s sad news for French football, but very good news for Atlético de Madrid. Because in the end, Griezmann is of a certain age. There was an accumulation of matches with the France team, where he played every minute. I think it will be very good for his performance with Atlético de Madrid », indicated Spanish journalist Inaki Villalon de Linos on RMC.
