He did run like crazy this copa, making him N1 in ball recovery and N2 in pressing for Argentina.
Would be interesting to see how many KM he did but can't find any source.

He still is one of the most important players in NT if not the most important one averaging everything.
But I'm also thinking that prime Benzema would have done the same if not more for the NT in last years if he had not fucked it up

True. Benzema is a bit better than Griezmann.

So apparently Mbappe and Griezmann have been in conflict since WC 2018 regarding positioning on the pitch and disagreement on how responsibilities should be handed. Griezmann who became the new leader in 2016 was annoyed at the focus Deschamps' tactics put on Mbappe
Also Mbappe doesnt want to play on the right anymore, and Griezmann doesnt want to play wide, meaning there is no natural choice for RW for Deschamps (Well it should be Coman but he didnt want to start him)
In March after poor friendlies results the conflict got out of hands. Deschamps hoped calling up Benzema would help France's attack work through this problem

he would be stupid to do that. at NT and Atletico he had two defensive managers that used him in a role tailored to his strengths.
let's see what happens if zidane takes over the french NT. mbappe is clearly the future and the team should be build to maximize his output. griezmann at 30 doesn't have much time left to do his cardio runs.

A team built on Griezmann got to the EUROs final in 2016 and won the 2018 WC. Team built around Mbappe got knocked out against Switzerland.
Mbappes ego became to big, and it costed France another title.
Don't think France will be favorites for the next EUROs with Griezmann, Kante, Lloris and Benzema all being to old, those guys alongside Varane were the only leaders in this team.

were did you come up with this shite about team being built around mbappe?
griezmann's position and role hasn't changed since deschamps took over. and they've played some dire football along the way, for a such formidable squad.
again making griezmann bigger than he really is. mbappe eclipsed him at that WC.

Griezmann was involved in every goal at the WC knockout stages, was their most important and best player by far. Mbappe is a hype job because of the goals against Argentina and Croatia.
And about team built around Mbappe this tournament, watch the games again, and you will see that all the balls had to go to him, like with Messi at Barca.

This. Griezman has won everything there is to win. The French team is toxic now led by overrrated Mbappe.
He should retire and watch Mbappe lead them to nowhere.

Romain Molina is a French investigative journalist who has proven to be an extremely competent and reliable source in the past.
Most recently his investigation on minors being sexually abused in the Malian Basketball federation was published by the New York Times (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/13/sports/olympics/fiba-basketball-mali-sexual-abuse.html) as for football he uncovered sexual harassment and abuse being performed by high ranked members of the French Federation on young girls and boys at Clairefontaine. He has also been published by CNN, the BBC and Le Temps
His sources on French football are also extremely good, unvealing many scandals within french clubs.
Here are the key points on his livestream of yesterday
**-Macron played a hand in Benzema's return (does not say to which extent or if it originated from him)**
**-Griezmann was extremely unhappy at the PR team putting too much emphasis on Benzema, especially when it comes to graphics/imagery/pictures**
**-Pogba was annoyed too**
**-Griezmann has been pissing everybody off for years, often telling his teammates "Thank god I'm here, I've saved you guys again". There were already tensions at WC 2018 and Griezmann was unbearable**
**-Griezmann's family are in contact with the press at all time and feed them information hence why no one reveals these things**
**-Before the euro French federation high ranked members were planning on putting all the blame on Benzema if things went wrong**
**-Leo Dubois is leaking information to Bertrand Latour (L'Equipe) and Pavard is leaking information to Loic Tanzi (RMC)**
**-French Federation lied about interns coming up with the idea for Youssoupha making a song to support the NT ahead of the Euro. Florence Hardouin personally approved it.**
**-Florence Hardouin is the real boss at FFF not Le Graet and tried to cut jobs in the federation pretexting financial issues even though there are no issues of the sort**
**-FFF defends and protects people who have sexually harassed or abused minors**
**-There is an Italian club involved in human traffic**
