This is a very unusual list of the French team that Didier Deschamps announced before the Blues’ two matches against Israel and Belgium in the Nations League. Kylian Mbappé, injured without really being injured, was left to rest to recover for two weeks in Madrid. But the notable absence is above all Antoine Griezmann, the number 7 of the Blues who announced his international retirement around ten days ago now.
A lack that will be seen over time
A departure which will leave a big void in every way in the French team. Whether it is his technical influence but also in group life, the Blues will miss everything. And someone close to Didier Deschamps, in the columns of Provence, predicts that the time to come will show how immense the loss of Griezmann is. “Didier is renewing his group little by little, without a Griezmann who brought serenity, was important collectively and adapted to each person’s personality. It is now that he is no longer there that we will really feel the weight that Griezmann had within this group,” predicts the close friend of the Blues coach.
