Mute for 21 matches, club and national team combined, Antoine Griezmann is living the most difficult period of his career. Despite this chronic inefficiency, the Atletico Madrid striker can count on the unwavering support of the France team coach, Didier Deschamps.
Griezmann remains untouchable at the Blues.
21. This is the number of consecutive matches played by Antoine Griezmann (31) without finding the net, club and national team combined. To find the trace of a goal by the Atletico Madrid striker, you have to go back to January 6 during a dark victory in the Copa del Rey against Rayo Majadahonda (5-0). An eternity for one of Didier Deschamps’ key players.
Deschamps does not let go of Griezmann
As the noose tightens around him, the Colchonero (42 goals in 106 caps), who distinguished himself with two big missed opportunities in Croatia (1-1) on Monday, can rightly count on his mentor. I know him well and he has often been more than his advantage. It’s not his best time today. There is a part of physical, a part of mental. He had his first injury at the start of the year when he suffered a relapse. He is a little worn defended the French manager at a press conference.
For the Basque technician, there is no question of letting go of his playmaker in the storm. I know his qualities and his mind, he is not reluctant. It’s not his best period, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to question what he’s capable of doing. He is part of a collective, he is appreciated in the group, I know what he can bring to the collective added the former coach of Olympique de Marseille.
Griezmann from among against Austria
A logical position of Deschamps, who, let’s remember, used Griezmann in the last 64 games for the French team. A priori, his place in the starting lineup of the Blues is also not in question since the Madrid striker should be associated with Karim Benzema for the match against Austria on Friday. It is no coincidence that some of his partners believe that he is the pet of the national coach.
