After France's Help To The 2022 World Cup Finals, Griezmann Began To Think About How To End Messi And Argentina

JAKARTA - The release of the French national team to the 2022 World Cup final has made Antoine Griezmann filled with high confidence. He even began to think of ways to hurt Lionel Messi and Argentina during the duel later.

The French national team won a ticket to the final after winning over Morocco on Thursday, December 15 in the morning WIB. In the semifinal match at Al Bayt Stadium, Les Bleus won 2-0 through goals from Theo Hernandez and Randal Kolo.

This victory brought France to meet Argentina to repeat the duel of the last 16 of the 2018 World Cup, at which time France won 4-3 over Albiceleste.

After winning and welcoming the match against Argentina in the final, Griezmann opened his voice about his potential opponent. After the match, he admitted that Argentina was a strong team with the presence of Lionel Messi which made the match difficult.

"Argentine is in the best form. Messi is in the best form and has strong people around him. The game will be difficult later, but we will prepare well," Griezmann was quoted as saying by Reuters on Thursday, December 15.

Griezmann emphasized that he and his team not only had to look tough in the final but also had to be smart in finding ways to paralyze La Pulga and his team.

"We have to know how to hurt Argentina and when we have to defend against them."

"I have to try to help the team as much as possible, as usual with the maximum effort I can afford," Griezmann said.

France is one of the favorite teams to win, but Griezmann is also aware that Argentina also has the same status as a lot of support. Therefore, he will focus on being able to make history but must also continue to ground.

We know they (Argentinas) have received a lot of support among the audience. We can make history but the road is still very long, 90 minutes or more. You have to keep going," he said.
