Like Didier Deschamps, France coach Hugo Lloris, captain of the ‘bleus’, also came out on Tuesday in defense of Antoine Griezmann, who is not going through his best moment. “I do not understand how you can question it. We all have bad times and good times. I see a player willing to defend, to make efforts for his teammates, we cannot question him about that ”, he said, asking his teammates to“ help ”in these times“ a little ”.
Deschamps also claimed Griezmann in Zagreb and he did so by recalling the statistics of the Barcelona player with the French team. “32 goals and 21 assists, he has already spoken on the field. I know its quality and what it can bring us ”, were Deschamps's words about Griezmann. This Wednesday, in a reissue of the 2018 World Cup final in Russia, France visits Croatia in a Nations League match.
Portugal is the leader of the group, thanks to goal difference, tied on points with France, which tied on Sunday against the Portuguese (0-o). Croatia follows with 4 less. Sweden closes the table, which has not added any for now.
