Atlectico Madrid and France forward, Antoine Griezmann, has responded
to criticism from Bayern Munich and former France midfielder, Franck
Ribery, that he is already over hyped.
Ribery had told Sports Bild that the hype around his compatriot was
too much too soon, when asked whether Griezmann was yet at his or club
teammate, Arjen Robben’s level.
Ribery had said, “Last season he played well, but you should only be
considered world-class when you consistently deliver these performances.
“We are too quick to say after one good season, ‘This player is outstanding, he must win the Ballon d’Or.’
“I don’t agree with this. Quality means, for me, churning out top performances over a period of 10, 12 or 15 years.”
Griezmann, who has started the season in style, scoring six goals in
six league games for Atletico Madrid, has dismissed Ribery’s comments in
diplomatic fashion.
The Atlectico man said, “As he says, we’ll see at the end what kind of player I am, but I know I’m on the right track.”
“Everyone has an opinion. To my father, for example, I’m the best player in the world. To the fans of Atletico, too.”
