Antoine Griezmann

I'm very happy at Atletico. I'm very proud to play for these fans, with these players, and with this coach. I want to try and pay back the confidence and care that the people at Atletico have always shown me. ”

I've never liked losing, ever since I was a boy in Macon, my hometown. I couldn't watch other teams lifting trophies. ”

When I wasn't playing, the most important thing was to stay patient. ”

I don't want them to compare me to one or the other - I want people to know me for being Griezmann. ”

I like PSG, but not Ligue 1. ”

There are a lot of bad people in football, and players can be afraid to go to stadiums and get abused. ”

Players do not come out of the closet because they are afraid. We have to appear hard and strong, but we are afraid of what people will say about us. Of course, I have nothing against anyone. I respect everybody. ”

Many clubs rejected me, but I wanted to be a footballer and to learn as quickly as possible, so I persisted until I got into Real Sociedad when I was 13. ”

It is the best thing to have great games, and the tiredness matters little. ”

When I'm close to the penalty area, that's where I feel more comfortable. ”
