Despite a double course in Spanish/Communication, I decided to take control of my dreams by heading into journalism. With a master’s degree in sports journalism, I cover sports and football news with as much admiration for transfer periods, when a club must make crucial choices for next season.
After ten years at the top, Antoine Griezmann has decided to retire internationally. The Atlético de Madrid playmaker made his decision official after a clearly missed Euro 2024. If the question of the succession of number 7 arises among the Blues, Mattéo Guendouzi believes that he will clearly not occupy this role in the France team.
On September 30, a bombshell was dropped concerning the French team. After 137 selections and extraordinary regularity, Antoine Griezmann announced through a video published on his social networks that he was putting an end to his international career. A huge shock for the Blues, accustomed since 2014 to being able to count on number 7 in the biggest moments of the epic training of Didier Deschamps.
Who to succeed Antoine Griezmann at the Blues?
The French coach also paid a nice tribute to the man everyone called “his favorite”. “Obviously, it is with great emotion that I note his international retirement. It has often been said that Antoine is my favorite. We had indeed established a very strong relationship, which will remain intact. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything, my Grizou.” Since then, the question of succession by Antoine Griezmann arises among the Blues. Repositioned in midfield over the last two years, the player l’Atlético de Madrid necessarily leaves a big void within the system of Deschamps.
“No one can replace Griezmann”
Present at a press conference this Saturday, Mattéo Guendouzi was also questioned about its ability to replace Griezmann in French team : “As everyone knows, Antoine Griezmann is a player with his own characteristics, one of the best of all time in the France team. There are other players than me who play in this position, but Antoine is a different player, with different qualities. No one can replace Griezmann based on his characteristics! »simply replied the player of the Lazio Rome.
