Secret causes and unspoken things”

A bolt of lightning hit the football planet with the international retirement of Antoine Griezmann this Monday, September 30.

The Essential

  • &To everyone's surprise, Antoine Griezmann, star and co-captain of the French team, announced his international retirement on Monday, September 30, through a simple press release accompanied by a video of his best moments with the French team. According to Le Figaro, Antoine Griezmann called Didier Deschamps in recent days to inform him of his decision. The main interested party said he was exhausted by the cadences, eager to enjoy his children
  • “It is with a heart full of memories that I close this chapter of my life. Thank you for this magnificent tricolor adventure and see you soon,” he wrote before developing a little more in the video. “After ten incredible years marked by challenges, successes and unforgettable moments, it is time for me to turn the page and make way for the new generation. Wearing this jersey has been an honor and a privilege. Since March 2014 and until Last September, I had the chance to experience incredible moments alongside exceptional teammates. We shared victories that will remain forever etched in our memories.”
  • The man with 137 caps and 116 starts, 84 of which were consecutive, was no longer really in the wind in Didier Deschamps' sails in recent weeks after a bad Euro. His status had changed and Didier Deschamps no longer saw him as an indispensable element. A coldness had also set in when Kylian Mbappé's captaincy was announced, making him only vice-captain.
