Antoine Griezmann

Antoine Griezmann is a French footballer, striker for Atletico Madrid and the French national team. The young striker quickly burst into the world of football and in two years underwent a transformation from a little-known French youth to a star, whose fan army is in the millions. Fans and sports commentators are increasingly comparing Antoine to two world football legends - Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, expecting results from the striker that will leave today's stars behind.

Antoine Griezmann was born in the spring of 1991 in the east of France, in the old Burgundy Macon. German, French and Portuguese blood was mixed in his veins. The surname of the bombardier of German origin reminds of his father's roots. Antoine's mom, Isabel Lopes, was born in France, where Portuguese parents moved shortly before her birth.

To become a football player was, as they say, written in the family. The head of the family, Alain Griezmann, first entered the field himself, and in adulthood he coached the Macon team, who competed in the second amateur league in France. Antoine Griezmann's maternal grandfather was also fond of football, but gave up sports to work in the construction industry, which brought much more income.

In the son and grandson, the dreams of representatives of two generations came true, who, for various reasons, did not manage to get to the sports Olympus. But the beginning of the French striker's football biography was difficult: it seemed that from above the young man was being tested for endurance.

On a short and painfully thin Antoine, who easily caught a cold, eminent clubs and teams did not bet. Until the age of 14, the guy changed 3 teams, and the screenings at Lyon, Auxerre and Saint-Etienne ended sadly.

Today Antoine Griezmann finally overcame the annoying obstacle: exhausting and regular training turned the body of a puny youth into a ball of muscles. At this time, with a weight of 72 kg, the height of a football player has reached 1.75 m.

For the first time a promising player was noticed by Erik Oltas, an experienced scout of the Spanish club Real Sociedad. The football "breeder" with a trained eye determined the potential of a 13-year-old teenager, whom the coach released on the field 10 minutes before the final of the children's tournament.

Oltas invited the boy for a week to the Spanish San Sebastian. Griezmann stayed for 2 weeks, having managed to hone his skills in a short time and convince the club's management of his prospects. The last obstacles remained: Antoine did not know a word of Spanish, and there was not a single free space in the boarding school for young football players.

Eric Oltas for the second time became a kind angel for the Frenchman: the scout sheltered the boy in his house. In the morning, the ward went to school, in the evening he trained.

The young forward quickly adapted to the team and brought his technique to perfection. After 2 months, Antoine Griezmann spoke fluently with his peers in Spanish.

The French forward made his debut for Real Sociedad in 2009. And again fate turned out to be favorable to the purposeful boy: coach Martin Lasarte urgently needed a capable left-hander. Binegen Erdosia was transferred from the reserve, but he soon dropped out due to injury. He was replaced by Antoine Griezmann.

The young striker quickly established himself in the first team: the guy scored brilliantly in important matches. For the first time in an official match, Griezmann played in a duel against the Rayo Vallecano team. Antoine entered the field in the last minutes of the game and scored a goal.

The rapid progress of the French footballer was noted by the managers and fans of the Spanish club. In 2013, the forward became the recognized leader of Real Sociedad, and in 2014 the club offered the young star a new contract, but Antoine Griezmann refused to sign it. The player was acquired by the Atletico Madrid club, buying out his contract for € 30 million.

The managers of the Madrid club soon appreciated the acquisition: Antoine quickly went through the adaptation in the new team and pleased the mentors and fans with a series of goals against serious competitors.

In the 2014/2015 season, Antoine Griezmann scored his debut hat-trick in the match against Athletic Bilbao. The match ended 4: 1 in favor of Atletico Madrid. The forward owns one of 4 goals in a dramatic match against Real Madrid. Atlético won 4-0.

The following season, the footballer remained Atlético's top scorer and helped the team reach the Champions League final. Thanks to Griezmann, the club knocked out Barcelona and Bayern. Antoine's merits at the end of the season (including a successful performance at Euro 2016) were appreciated, and the striker became a contender for the Golden Ball, but the prize was given to Cristiano Ronaldo.

Griezmann was invited to play for the French national team in 2010. He made his debut in the match with Ukraine, scoring the winning goal in the 88th minute. In the summer of the same year, 19-year-old Antoine was invited to participate in the European Championship, where the striker scored 2 goals for the national team.

In 2014, as part of the French national team at the World Cup, the forward successfully played 5 matches. Playing for the national team at the 2016 European Championship, Griezmann became the tournament's top player and scorer. According to the results, he moved up to 2nd place after Michel Platini.

In 2011, the forward met a Spanish girl named Erica Choperena. Without delay, they settled under the same roof and since then have lived in Madrid permanently. They rest together on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, having chosen Miami.

In the spring of 2016, Erica gave Antoine a daughter, who was given the beautiful name Mia. Photos of the girl are replete with the football player's Instagram, but Griezmann does not want to “shine” on her daughter's face: in most of the pictures, Mia is shot from the back. Antoine Griezmann dedicated a goal to his beloved daughter at the 2016 European Championship.

The wife of the star striker does not like publicity. There are no candid photos on her Instagram page. But the adorable Spanish woman recently started blogging about fashion, showing an excellent taste and a keen understanding of the fashion industry. The second hobby of Griezmann's wife is cooking: Erica pampers her husband with delicious desserts.

The striker's performance statistics for April 2018 delight fans and managers: the striker has scored 109 goals in 202 matches for Atlético Madrid.

In the spring of 2018, it became known that the Barcelona club concluded a gentlemen's agreement with Atletico Madrid on Antoine: if the player leaves Atlético, then the Catalans will accept him.

In April, information leaked to the media that the Madrid club, in order to save Griezmann, was ready to raise the salary of the leading footballer to the level of Cristiano Ronaldo's salary. The Atlético managers allegedly offer Antoine a contract under which he will receive € 20 million a year.

On July 15, 2018, the final of the World Cup took place at Luzhniki. The Croatian national team, which made it to the World Cup final for the first time, lost to the French national team by a score of 2-4. Antoine Griezmann showed excellent play throughout the 2018 World Cup, but in the decisive match, in addition to assists, he scored a goal against the Croats.
