He was one of the most criticized in his homeland after the bitter elimination suffered at the hands of Spain last night: Antoine Griezmann he did not shine in a European Championship where his France team was attacked also and above all for its poor offensive production.
The vice-captain of Didier’s team Deschampsat the end of the semi-final spoke to Le Figaro: “The atmosphere in the dressing room? In your opinion… We’re all angry, sad, it’s a blow to the back of the head. But they were better than us. Regrets? I have some for the first 20 minutes: we were superior in everything, in intensity, in the desire to play, to be one together. Then they equalized with a long-range shot. We also knew he was left-handed (smiles, ed.). We conceded the second goal four minutes later, it really hurt us”.
Griezmann but he doesn’t want to hear about lack of energy for the Blue: “Let’s not talk about energy, they also played extra time in the previous round. We won’t look for that excuse. Personal review? I started badly, I felt better and better, I ended up on the bench. I tried to give my best, with many tactical changes and changes of position. We had to adapt continuously. The positive aspects of the European Championship? The fact that we have the talent to make it in the future, but we need much more. In defense we were very good during the European Championship. In attack we missed many opportunities. It hurt us. Substituted? It’s part of football, I won’t be the one to complain”.
