🎙 | Griezmann's interview with @MovistarFutbol👇
🗣 "Not spoken for a long time? Yes, I think it's been since my presentation. Because, as I said that day, I only wanted to express myself on the pitch, not off. But I think it's time to put things in their place. I've had to endure a lot of things." #FCB 🇫🇷💪
🗣 "It's true that what has been said may generate doubts in the relationship with Leo, but I think he knows very well that I have a lot of respect for him. I see him as a great example, and I think Leo knows it." #FCB 🇫🇷🇦🇷
🗣 "I will keep my hair long even if they ask me to cut it. My children and my wife want me to keep it. My idol is Beckham." #FCB 🇫🇷❌💈
🗣 "For me, Beckham is an idol on and off the pitch. He's exemplary and that's what my teammates who played with him in Paris told me." #FCB 🇫🇷 x 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
🗣 "I was born in Macon. My father is French, my mother is Portuguese. My grandfather played in Portugal, my dad too but, but he was never able to make a living from it. My father trained me until I was 13 years old." #FCB 🇫🇷 x 🇵🇹
🗣 "I tried to make it at ten French first division clubs. But they never signed me, either because of my height or because of my level, but nobody gave me the opportunity. The day Metz didn't sign me was very hard, because they told me they would. I cried for days." #FCB 🇫🇷😞
🗣 "A scout from Real Sociedad saw me at a tournament, followed me, and left me a little card for my parents to call him." #FCB 🇫🇷 x 🇪🇸
🗣 "It was difficult for me to find a place in the teams, but with work I got it. It wasn't like now, I didn't stand out too much. I didn't do 10,000 dribbles, I just did what the coach wanted." #FCB 🇫🇷💪
🗣 "I started in the second division with Real Sociedad, yes there were already a lot of South Americans. There was a good group of people. That's where I started drinking mate, with Carlos Bueno." #FCB 🇫🇷 x 🇺🇾
🗣 "I didn't know Spanish, and a teammate had to translate everything the coach said. It was very complicated, being so young." #FCB 🇫🇷🇪🇸👎
🗣 "I had a lot of trouble when I arrived at Atletico. I came to a club that had just won La Liga, you had to earn your place." #FCB 🇫🇷🏃‍♂️
🗣 "When the coach asks me for things, I will do it, although I may not agree, he knows what is best for the team. And I continue to do so.” #FCB 🇫🇷🙌
🗣 "All training sessions were like matches at Atlético. Everyone was yelling at you to give your all in every training session." #FCB 🇫🇷💪
🗣 "I always have trouble talking about the Championship league final where I missed my penalty." #FCB 🇫🇷⛔️🏆
🗣 “We had a great World Cup, with great players alongside. I had the confidence of all the players, we were a block that attacked, that defended." #FCB 🇫🇷🤩
🗣 "Deschamps called us to prepare for the Argentina game, and I proposed a 4-4-2 formation with Kanté defending Messi, and they told me: 'You think this is Atlético', but they listened to me." #FCB 🇫🇷
🗣 "La Decisión? My parents were angry about the documentary. They didn't like me doing it like that, and they also wanted to see me at Barça." #FCB 🇫🇷👎
🗣 "I decided to stay at the time. Everyone gave me their opinion and then I decided. Every time someone spoke, I had doubts." #FCB 🇫🇷🤔
🗣 "With the documentary we wanted to show what it's like to potentially switch clubs." #FCB 🇫🇷🤦‍♂️
🗣 "I spoke with Leo when I arrived, and he told me that when I rejected the offer it screwed him up and it hurt him, because he had made public comments. But well, now I was on his side, he told me that he was with me." #FCB 🇫🇷🇦🇷
🗣 "I have undergone three different coaches and a global pandemic. I still need time to adapt... There have been comments from everyone, even from candidates for the presidency." #FCB 🇫🇷👀
🗣 "Criticism? I accept it, because I know we are not seeing the best Griezmann." #FCB 🇫🇷💪
🗣 "My relationship with Setién was normal. When I played five minutes against Atlético, he wanted to talk to me and I told him that he didn't have to. He asked me until when I would be angry? I still am (laughs)." #FCB 🇫🇷
🗣 "Valverde asked me to play on the left to combine permanently with Alba. I noticed his confidence at all times." #FCB 🇫🇷
🗣 "With Eric Olhats (former agent) I no longer have a relationship." #FCB 🇫🇷❌👥
🗣 "And then my uncle, who doesn't know what football is about. A journalist comes, he's with you and wants to get a filthy quote out of you... I told Leo that I have nothing to do with them. I don't even have my uncle on WhatsApp." #FCB 🇫🇷👀
🗣 "There is no problem with anyone. Leave me alone." #FCB 🇫🇷❤️
🗣 "There are a lot of games between the national team and the clubs, and that's one of the reasons for the injuries. Any player who misses two months can miss 30 or more games. It's hellish." #FCB 🇫🇷🚑
🗣 "Hopefully this interview will help calm down everything a little bit." #FCB 🇫🇷
