It’s the end of the Olympic adventure for Antoine Griezmann: after three days following the French athletes at the Paris 2024 Olympics, the vice-captain of Les Bleus resumed training on Tuesday morning.
“Training resume alert” for Antoine Griezmann. A big fan of sports and the Olympic Games, the vice-captain of the French team had a great time for three days in Paris 2024. “Grizi” arrived at the Stade de France last Saturday to experience the coronation of the Blues in rugby 7s led by Antoine Dupont, before treating himself to a marathon Sunday with the gymnastics, fencing and especially swimming events, getting excited, like the entire Paris La Défense Arena, for the coronation of Léon Marchand in the 400m medley.
On Monday, Griezmann went to Versailles and was able to celebrate the victory of the French equestrian team (eventing). We then lost track of him! The 2018 world champion did not, for example, go to see the judo at the Arena Champ-de-Mars. The 33-year-old player probably flew to Madrid to return home. He actually started his pre-season preparation on Tuesday with a recovery training session scheduled early in the morning! He waited until his nap to follow the rest of the adventures of the French athletes at the Paris Region Games.
Griezmann soon to be partnered with a Norwegian
After three weeks of vacation, in the wake of the pitiful elimination of the Blues at Euro 2024 against Spain in the semi-finals, “Grizi” will try to start his season properly after having been ghostly at the European Championship. He may not participate in the next preparation match of Diego Simeone’s team, Saturday against Getafe. The Colchoneros will then play a match in Hong Kong, against the local team of Kitchee, then a final friendly match in Sweden against Juventus.
It should be noted that Griezmann could quickly welcome a new attacking partner. After the failure of Artem Dovbyk, the Ukrainian striker from Girona, who could finally sign for Roma, Atlético turned to Alexander Sorloth, Pichichi in the Liga title with Villarreal. The Norwegian striker could cost 35 million euros. He would thus take over from Alvaro Morata as center forward, with “Grizi” in support.
