Griezmann appeased away from the Blues, the sad revelations

The French team is above everything, and it's not Antoine Griezmann who will say the opposite! For 10 years, the attacking midfielder of the Blues gave everything for this jersey, wearing his in the big moments, of joy like the victory at the 2018 World Cup, but also of pain with the failures in the final of Euro 2016 and the 2022 World Cup. But yet, to everyone's surprise, he decided to turn the page on the selection in September after a particularly complicated gathering. And since he decided to put the blue jersey in the closet, he has been more dazzling than ever with Atlético Madrid.

“It was a rebirth”

And obviously, these two elements are necessarily linked. Antoine Griezmann “feels relieved. He has freed himself from a big weight in his head” say members of his entourage in the daily the Team. “He found a smile and lightness again. It was a rebirth” even says a close friend of the 2018 world champion. His relationship with Didier Deschamps, affected in particular by the choice to give the captain's armband to Kylian Mbappé, was able to play. “He is so emotional that his situation in the French team weighed on him” adds a close friend. And if this makes Blues supporters sad, dreaming of seeing him win a second star during the American World Cup, Atlético Madrid fans are rubbing their hands seeing “Grizou” at his best again.
