Antoine Griezmann assured that he does not care if Peru or Australia wins the rival playoff against France in the Qatar 2022 World Cup | RMMD | SPORTS

The French team fell at home, at the start of the UEFA Nations League, against Denmark (1-2), a team that will precisely be their rival in the Qatar 2022 World Cup. The result generated many doubts in the fans ahead of the appointment World Cup, although there is still time for the technical command of ‘Les Bleus’ to fine-tune details.

In that sense, after the game, Antoine Griezmann spoke to the press and received a question regarding his rival to meet in the group stage of the World Cup: Do you prefer to face Peru or Australia (in case you eliminate the United Arab Emirates in the Asian Qualifier)?

Despite the importance of the matter, the Atlético Madrid striker was calm in the face of the definition of the playoffs. “I do not care”, Said the Frenchman, with a smile, but without the intention of generating controversy. Let us remember that France also faced the Peruvian and Australian teams in Russia 2018, whom they beat 1-0 and 2-1 respectively.

On the other hand, Griezmann tried to end the controversy generated by a phrase from Mbappé, who highlighted the superiority of the European teams over the South American ones. “Kylian’s words are misunderstood and people are giving them more thought than usual. In Europe or America it is very difficult to enter the World Cup. Any team deserves to be there and compete”, said the player.

When does the Peruvian team play?

The Peruvian National Team will first play a preparation match against New Zealand, next Sunday, June 5 (10:30 am Peru time). The actions will take place at the RCDE Stadium in Barcelona and after the match, Ricardo Gareca will continue with the practices.

Later, the national team will get ready for the playoff to the Qatar 2022 World Cup, at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium in Doha (Monday, June 13, at 1:00 pm Peru time). The ‘Blanquirroja’ will have to wait to meet their rival: Australia and the United Arab Emirates will play on June 7.
