The goalkeeper of the French team Mike Maignan commented with irony on the information according to which his rant after the defeat against Italy had an influence on Antoine Griezmann's decision to retire from international duty.
A retreat that (still) gets talked about. On September 30, Antoine Griezmann said goodbye to the France team. The end of a brilliant international career marked by a World Cup victory, 137 caps, 44 goals and a record for assists (30). Why did number 7 slam the door so suddenly? The person concerned did not elaborate too much on the reasons for his decision, simply stating that it is “time to turn the page and make way for the new generation.”
“I have a broad back…”
Did the Colchoneros star feel more isolated in the Blues locker room? According to L'Equipe, the rant made by Mike Maignan at the beginning of September after the defeat against Italy (1-3) at the Parc des Princes would have had an influence on his teammate. The AC Milan goalkeeper railed against the starlet attitude of certain players. Grizou would have taken his criticism personally.
“You put a bullet in his head,” a member of the staff even said to Mike Maignan, assures the sports daily in its edition of the day. “It’s false” reacted Antoine Griezmann. Mike Maignan, for his part, preferred to use irony: “Ahahaha I have a broad back… Who's next”, asked the goalkeeper of the Lombard team on X.
