“We were all surprised by the announcement”. Present at a press conference, Aurélien Tchouameni spoke about the international retirement of Antoine Griezmann (33), announced to everyone’s surprise. For the former Monegasque, the French team will miss the impact of the Atlético de Madrid striker, but he believes in the potential of the new generation. “On the pitch, his technical touch will obviously be missed but I hope and I have the firm conviction that with the players we have, we will fill this void”ensures the midfielder, just named captain of the Blues in the absence of Kylian Mbappé.
Despite the sadness of seeing the best passer in the history of the France team (145 caps, 44 goals, 30 assists) retire, Tchouameni understands the choice of ‘Grizou’. “Having spoken with him, he felt it was the best decision. If he’s happy, that’s the most important thing for us. In any case, I think we must thank him, he is a monument of France, of French football, he is one of the best”. The message got through.
