Griezmann's Football Manager routine: signs Yaya Toure, gets angry at developers, always drinks mate
On Sunday, I spent some good time watching Antoine Griezmann play my favourite football simulator, Football Manager 2020.
It was the first time I've seen our forward playing a video game at all, so it was quite fun to watch 😅
Sadly, Antoine could only speak French, so I had to rely on what was going on in the game itself.
Some curious observations noted during the live stream:
- Griezmann manages Rennes – earlier it was Arsenal, so Antoine's taking harder challenges 😂
- He signed 36-year-old (!) Yaya Toure who's partly famous for his Barca performances in the late 2000s.
- Antoine's actively using Eduardo Camavinga in his starting XIs – the young defensive midfielder is Barca's reported target for the summer, by the way.
Griezmann's starting XI with Yaya and Camavinga in – there's also young revelation Mohammed Ihattaren who was on Barca's radars one day:
- Griezmann was really mad at Sports Interactive for 'underrating' his skills – we've actually made a post with this hilarious excerpt on Tuesday.
- This, however, hasn't made him a top player yet – his side are sitting in 15th place after the first 5 games.
- Apart from the game aspects, the amount of drunk mate is worth a mention 😂😂
- Antoine also looks like a true French hip-hop lover as he was singing along most of the tracks that were played during the stream!

Griezmann is basically doing the scouting job for Eric Abidal :)
Community admin, Yaya-N'Zonzi-Camavinga looks like a very likely midfield trio for Barca if Abidal doesn't resign 😆
