Antoine Griezmann’s contribution to the French national team
In this edition of the World Cup, the Atlético de Madrid player does not have the primary task of scoring goals. What’s more, so far in the World Cup, the former striker has not scored goals even for Barcelona and Real Sociedad.

With Mbappe, Giroud and Ousmane Dembele as the starting trident at the top, coach Didier Deschamps gave him a further development task with more freedom on all fronts. Thus, he floats between the first line of midfielders where Aurélien Tchoumeny is placed, while he periodically alternates with Adrien Rabiot.

In attack, the ball also passes the Frenchman, leaving Kylian Mbappe breathless at times. Ingenuity, creativity and association with the above has seen him add three assists ahead of the final on Sunday, 18 December. I work in silence in contribution to the collective. Luka Modric’s France national team, Why not? Hyperbola.
It won’t be easy against the Argentina of Lionel Messi and Julián Alvarez (another who does the work of an ant). It is very difficult to break lock when facing wonders like Rodrigo de Paul, Cristian Romero and Nicolás Otamendi, players who not only work hard on the ball but also ‘hit’ it. Although, antoine griezmann is the key to open the scoreboard. You have not just one, but several copies in your pocket. It is through him that he breaks the siege of Albiceleste. Will be given ?
