Antoine Griezmann was one of the leading figures in the French team's victory in Croatia. The Barcelona forward put Deschamps ahead with a great goal in the 8th minute and surpassed Zidane in the historical scorers' classification of Les Bleus, highlighting in mixed zone that Deschamps knows where to place him in the field.
“It was a difficult game, not very difficult to play, not very good for developing our game. The playing field was slow, difficult, against an opponent who really wanted to beat us. We have known how to suffer and the most important thing was victory ”, highlighted the Barcelona player.
On his great goal and his position with Deschamps in the national team, Griezmann added: “I think it was a very nice goal. The ball came to me and I tried to hit it well and scored. I feel good about the goal. The coach knows where to put me so I took advantage of this advantageous situation and the confidence of the coach and my teammates”.
