Passionate about sport, cinema and television (on screen and behind) since his childhood, Bernard has been a journalist for 10 Sport since 2018. More skilled with the keyboard in hand than with the ball on his feet, he decides to mainly cover a beloved sport, criticized and hated at the same time (football) and a sport that is not one (wrestling).
A month ago, Antoine Griezmann announced the end of his international career at the age of 33, a real bolt from the blue that seems definitive. While the Atlético de Madrid striker affirmed this week that his time in blue was “completely over”, Didier Deschamps indicated that he had no hope of changing the mind of his former darling.
On Monday September 30, Antoine Griezmann announced to everyone's surprise his international retirement. A few weeks after the end of a contrasting Euro for him, the star of l'Atlético de Madrid put an end to his adventure in Bleu after 137 caps and 44 goals. If some hope or imagine the now ex-French international making his return in the image of a Zinedine Zidane in 2005, Didier Deschamps rules out this hypothesis.
Deschamps rules out a return from Griezmann
« A hope of changing Antoine Griezmann's mind? Noreplied the French coach during an exchange with supporters of the French team organized by Téléfoot. While telling him once again, if necessary, a big thank you for everything he did and was able to provide for the France team. But I know him well, very well, and it is a decisively mature, thoughtful and acted decision for him. »
“It’s completely over”
In the eyes of Didier Deschampsso there is no chance of seeing again Antoine Griezmann under the blue jersey, confirming the words of the main person concerned this week after the victory of l'Atlético de Madrid on the lawn of PSG (2-1). « I am very proud and very surprised by all the nice messages I have received from supporters or people in the football world. It touched me. I am happy to have left this beautiful mark. Yes, it's completely over. It's not on a whim and it's carefully considered. », he confided on the microphone of Canal+.
