Pierre Ménès has explained why Antoine Griezmann is no longer fulfilled in the French team, calling on Didier Deschamps to review his plans.
An indispensable element of Didier Deschamps’ starting eleven for many years, Antoine Griezmann lost his status as an unshakeable player during Euro 2024. It must be said that the Atlético Madrid striker missed his target, not helped either by the choices of the coach who used him in several different positions. Enough to annoy the Mâconnais and create a coldness with “DD”.
For his YouTube channel, Pierre Ménès returned to the problems of “Grizi” in the French team. The former star consultant of Canal+ believes that the Colchonero is not put in the best frame of mind by Didier Deschamps.
Pierre Ménès: “We need to get Griezmann closer to the goal”
“I think it’s mostly a positioning issue.said Pierre Ménès. At Atlético, a team is eminently defensive, which should not disorient him so much from the French team, Griezmann plays much higher than in the national team. He plays as an attacker, he is freed from the constraints of defense. Whereas with the Blues, he has to defend a lot, he has to participate in the creation of the game. As a result, he is much too far from the opposing goal.
And to add: ” I think this is an avenue to explore for Deschamps in the upcoming matches, that is to say, getting Griezmann closer to the goal, even if it means sacrificing a Thuram or a Kolo Muani. I imagine that not many people will cry over this. Griezmann needs to be brought closer to the goal. His performances with Atlético are living proof of that. » It remains to be seen what Didier Deschamps thinks about it, who will reveal his list for the next two matches of the Blues, against Israel and Belgium in the League of Nations, on Thursday October 3.
