44 – Patrick Vieira— Equipe de France ⭐⭐ (@equipedefrance) March 18, 2024
The French team has already achieved this goal. announces that Lazio Rome midfielder Matteo Guendouzi, 24, will replace Grizou in the next two matches. A task that promises to be complicated, as Didier Deschamps himself pointed out. earlier today, believing that with the qualities of Antoine [Griezmann] in his register, we are not going to find a player who has these characteristics. And the boss of the Blues anticipates: "When we know the influence of Antoine, a replacement position for position is impossible or very, very serious; s, very difficult. We will arrange it a little differently."
