The Frenchman is playing Football Manager again and leading a traditional English club to the top.
WHAT HAPPENED? Atlético Madrid’s star striker Antoine Griezmann is at ESPN once again given insights into his activities in the manager game Football Manager. The Frenchman is an enthusiastic gamer and is currently enjoying virtual success as a trainer at Blackburn Rovers.
WHAT WAS SAID? When asked how things were going with Rovers, Griezmann said: “I’m in sixth place in the First Division. The board is very happy and wants to extend my contract.”
The 32-year-old should also describe which player he last signed. Griezmann replied: “A young right-back who was at Liverpool. He’s Scottish but I don’t remember his name.”
Griezmann was referring to Calvin Ramsay, who moved from FC Aberdeen to team manager Jürgen Klopp’s club in 2022 as a great talent for a fee of almost five million euros. The 20-year-old is currently on loan at Championship club Preston North End until the end of the season. However, he was only used there for 132 minutes.
WHAT IS THE BACKGROUND? Griezmann is an enthusiastic gamer. He already played Football Manager in 2021, when ein Clip viral gingin which he raved about his great achievements as Newcastle United manager.
In it, he confessed to his national teammate Kylian Mbappé (24, PSG) that he had signed him in the video game for a fee of 134 million euros. He reacted visibly irritated at the time.
WHAT’S NEXT? Maybe Griezmann will have time this weekend to lead Rovers even further on the computer: Atlético Madrid have an away trip to Bilbao, where the game against Athletic Club is scheduled for Saturday afternoon.
