[Sport] Valdano interviews Griezmann, live

[#Steeven.™]

THE INTERVIEW
Final reflection: "I want to show. And I want people to know that I don't have any kind of problem with anyone and that I just focus on doing my best."

Calendar: "We are traveling every two three days. We do not rest and that is causing injuries. I do not think it is a coincidence ..."

Day by day in the eye of the hurricane: "It is tiring to see bad news every morning. And that does not let me finish enjoying myself. I almost breathe the day that nothing has come out."

"We have been difficult for two years, but I think we have the group and the level to win important things. We need to respond and demonstrate on the field, on a personal level as well."

Statements with France: "In France they began to question Deschamps. I said it in the sense that he is a coach who knows what he is doing. It was a show of affection for Deschamps because they were sticking him with sticks."

Statements from your former representative: I stopped having a relationship from the day I got married. On my wedding day I invited him and he didn't come, that's why I stopped having a relationship with him. "

"He speaks because as neither my father nor my sister speak to the press, they call him. But Leo knows that I have a lot of respect and admiration for him.

"My uncle doesn't know how football works. And in the end, the journalist ended up taking the sentence out of him. I told Leo that I never speak to them, in fact I don't even have my uncle's phone number."

The confetti celebration: "I did it for LeBron James. My wife went to buy the confetti on Amazon and I prepared it. But I always have curious celebrations. At La Real I got into a car ..."

Setién: "I learned a lot when kicking the ball, but I never had a problem with him. My parents told me to ask him why he wasn't a starter, but I don't think he should do it because I didn't ask him when he played either."

"On Villareal day we played very well, but the next game against Valladolid I was injured."

Valverde: "He asked me to play on the left to play space permanently with Jordi Alba. I noticed his confidence at all times.

Criticisms: "I accept them because I know that we are not seeing the best Griezmann, but I understand that every time something else comes out I am the first one they tell me. In a year and a half I have had three coaches ... that is not easy. I need time to adapt to my colleagues and they to me, and on top of system changes.

In addition, the candidates for the presidency also talk about me. I don't think it's the best thing for me for them to talk about whether or not I'm a good signing. "

Arrival in Barcelona: "I spoke with Leo when I arrived and he told me that when I rejected the first option to go, he screwed up because he had asked for it publicly. But he told me he was with me and I notice it every day"

His departure: "I needed a change. There were departures like those of Godín and Lucas also made me make the decision to leave. It all counted."

The decision: "I wanted to show that deciding to go to one team or another is very complicated. People thought it was a game and that I laughed at the fans. I just wanted to show how a player does not know what to do and what to decide. wife, your parents, your children ... but in the end you decide. "

"After the documentary my parents got angry with me because they didn't understand what I did when filming the documentary. Besides, they wanted to see me at Barcelona"

Mbappé: "He's still in training, but he does everything. He's incredible at his age."

World Cup Russia: "You could see that something great could be done just by watching the way and the intensity with which the team trained. Deschamps called us to prepare for the Argentina game, and I proposed to defend 4-4-2 with Kanté canceling Messi, and they told me: "You think this is Atlético". But they listened to me. "

Euro 2016: There they started to know me in France, because there only Madrid and Barça see. I lost two finals in a short time and didn't feel like watching more football. I was not consoled by being the best player in the tournament ":

Champions Milan: "It is difficult for me to speak, because I know that if I had scored the penalty it would have changed history. I shot in the shootout because I felt guilty for having gotten there. When I got it I said to myself" this you should have done before ".

Athletic Stage: "The beginning was hard for me. I came to a club that had just won the League and I had to win the place based on work. In fact, it was difficult for me to play until December. I am always available to the coach, I learned that way and it will always be like that. I will always do what the coach asks of me, even if I know that on a personal level what he is asking me will hurt me. "

"With Cholo, each training session was like a match at the intensity level. They all yelled at me asking for more: Koke, Gabi, Prof Ortega ...".

"At Atleti, everyone ran and everyone moved everywhere, and I continue to do so. The locker room was very solid. We would meet to eat when we lost so as not to give an option to bad rolls."

Professional beginnings: "I didn't feel like I stood out. When the French U19 team called me, I started to believe that I could get there, but I knew I had to work hard until I could get there. I went through all the categories burning stages, and that's when I earned my place in the senior team ".
"Everyone behaved very well with me at the Real. He was the boy there, and even the press treated me well."

Real Sociedad: "I played a tournament with Mompellier, and the Real Sociedad scout followed me throughout the tournament and left me a letter telling me to go there. And there I went."

"The first day I tried the team one year older than me, and I had to do another test the following week with the team my age. I lived in Bayonne and trained with Real".

"I didn't know Spanish, and they had to translate everything the coach said to me. It was very complicated being so young. I started playing in the cadets and it was difficult for me to be a starter. I didn't stand out, I just did what the coach told me."

"I began to believe that I could be a professional when I signed my first contract with Real. Martín Lasarte gave me the opportunity, and that's when my relationship with the Uruguayans began."

His tests as a young man: "I tried in 10 French first division clubs. But they never caught me, either because of my height or because of my level, but nobody gave me the opportunity. The day Metz didn't catch me was very hard, because They told me they were going to catch me, but then they called my father to say no. I fell into tears crying for several days in my room. "

Beginnings: My father played soccer although never professionally. He was my first coach. I went to all the training sessions and games that my father directed, and that's where my love for football began.

Admiration to Bechkam: "He is an idol on and off the pitch. He is exemplary and that's what my teammates who played with him in Paris told me. He had an incredible forehand, but off the pitch he also had something special."

Griezmann's figure has been in the news in recent weeks. But not because of his football performances, but because of what his environment has spoken about his signing for Barça and his relationship with Messi. In this context comes the interview in the Universo Valdano program, in which the Frenchman, like every time he speaks, surely does not leave anyone indifferent.

"I said in my presentation with FC Barcelona that I did not want to speak outside, but in the field, but I think it is time to put things in their place. I have been putting up with things and comments for a long time and I already said enough," says Griezmann in advance of the interview that, tonight will be broadcast on #Vamos starting at 11:00 pm.
