“A small score? Don’t bother with a small score or anything, we’re in the quarter-finals.”
Antoine Griezmann did not mince his words when answering journalistsMonday evening, after the narrow success of the French team against Belgium, in the round of 16 of Euro 2024 (1-0).
While the Blues’ game is still being criticized by observers, the Mâconnais did not hesitate to raise his voice. An unusual reaction for a player who is usually smiling and polite in front of the microphones. Eric Di Meco nevertheless believes that these comments from the star of the French team are completely understandable.
Griezmann’s reaction is “normal” for Di Meco
“When you are a player, and this is normal, you are in the objective to achieve or even in the result, launched Di Meco on RMC. Above all, after the matches, we have difficulty reading our game, either individually or collectively. It’s difficult to judge a match. He’s not there for that. When you’re a player and you’ve qualified with difficulty like yesterday evening… besides, you only have to see the reaction of the players and Didier Deschamps.
Close to Didier Deschamps, who he worked alongside at OM, Di Meco also expressed his astonishment after the coach’s reaction at the final whistle. “I found him in a bit of a strange state for a round of 16 match.. He knew he was expected. He sees that his team is not producing what people would like to see. He had pressure on this match, it was seen in the reaction he had.
