back in the Atletico Madrid, Antoine Griezmann He had a complicated season with the colchoneros between injuries, adaptation and others. A campaign that made many people consider many things.
To date, the French team had been his particular ‘oasis’ but that could have changed. The defeat before Denmark and the discreet game of the rojiblanco, have intensified the criticism and doubts about the role of the rojiblanco with ‘Blues’.
Like the selection of France on friday night before Denmark, Antoine Griezmann was not up to par. And several commentators have put the rojiblanco in the spotlight.
Griezmann continues in a sad and long streak of twenty consecutive games without scoring a single goal.
number 8 of the Atletico Madrid he has scored just one goal in 2022, all competitions added. He saw door before him Ray Majadahonda on the Copa del Rey as soon as the calendar year begins. Since then, he has played twenty games, without scoring a single goal…
An issue that is aggravated if we take into account that it does not mark in the selection of France for seven months. The mattress maker has not yet lost his status as a starter, but various media are beginning to question him. The third top scorer in the history of the French team is currently going through a difficult time.
His role has been slightly revised since the arrival of the duo Mbappe-Benzema, now plays as a hitch and further from the goal. The leading role is taken by others.
For Pierre Menesone of the most important commentators on Francethe performance of Griezmann it was disappointing. I forgot to rate Griezmannit must be a kind of tribute to the anonymity of your game. Griezmann, 4. At the beginning of the game I found it a little better than the last quotes, but in the second half it totally disappeared from circulation, like many others”, the journalist pointed out. The ex Soccer Club Channel does not show much optimism for the future. ”His lack of performance in the France team is starting to be a problem. The advantage is that he does not have much competition in his position. (…) Is not sufficient”.
A PLAYER WHO Wanders
Six months after the start of worldthe swollen tricolor hopes that Antoine Griezmann find a way to get your level back. Why not on Monday against Croatia? It is what another commenter expects, Elton Day, of Winamaxwho sees a Antoine Griezmann totally lost.
“We used to say ‘no news, good news,’ but on the side of Griezmann it is the opposite. Today we are talking about a player who tends towards anonymity and this is not necessarily what we expected. In the Barcelona the ex-coach Ernest Valverde explained that Griezmann he had to find his place, but it was for him Barça. And I have the impression that it is the same in the selection of France. From the moment when there is a turning point in the recent history of the selection of Francewhere there are zones of influence, with Mbappe y Benzema that they are increasingly influential, that they like to receive the ball, what do we do”, he pointed out to add: “With Griezmann? In 2018, Griezmann It was the flagship of the French national team. And in 2022 there are players like Benzema y Mbappe that have become very important. It’s human nature, we give the ball to the best player. But today the best player of the France team is no longer called Antoine Griezmann. Today it is an element of composition and must blend in with the group, being decisive. These are complex things. when you call Antoine Griezmann, you have a certain ego In 2018 he was considered the leader of the selection of France. Four years later, it’s not the same. We see a player wandering around.”
LUCAS HERNÁNDEZ COMES OUT IN HIS DEFENSE
But it’s not all criticism from the outside, those who know him, those who know what he’s capable of, have no doubts about the player. “If I consoled Antoine Griezmann? We exchanged a few messages when he was injured because I knew what he was. He had never felt that? On the other hand, about the quality of it, there is nothing to say. We all know the player that he is. He had a difficult season, but his motivation is intact,” the Bayern Munich defender said of Griezmann in an interview with JDD.
